Ban on rescue dogs from countries at risk of spreading rabies to remain, CFIA says

April 5, 2026

Animal advocacy groups say the restrictions — which were brought in more than three years ago and originally meant to be temporary — are preventing healthy animals from legitimate international rescues from finding homes in Canada.
