The Canadian Animal Task Force (CATF) is a volunteer-run charity dedicated to improving animal welfare and community safety. Its Dog Care and Control Program focuses on helping indigenous communities manage large, free-roaming dog populations.
Key points from the program’s introductory publication:
- Why Dog Population Management Matters: The document explains the challenges posed by uncontrolled dog populations in indigenous communities.
- The 7 Components of the Program: CATF’s approach includes education, legislation, registration, sterilization, holding facilities, veterinary care, and resource control.
- CATF’s Support: The organization offers assistance with developing humane bylaws, budgeting, job descriptions, partnerships, pet food banks, and educational programs.
By addressing these issues, CATF aims to create safer and more harmonious communities for both humans and animals.
