How Buying PJs Helps Rescue Dogs

In the midst of a shelter dog crisis in Canada, local rescues and ethical dog breeders are working tirelessly to save lives, advocate for responsible ownership, and place loving pups in forever homes. At Bully Love Boutique, all of our own dogs are rescued—so this cause is truly near and dear to our hearts. That’s why 30% of every human and dog PJ sale goes directly to support breed‑inclusive rescues in our community. Here’s why your support matters—and how you can make a difference today.

The Shelter Dog Crisis: Why Local Rescues Need You

• In 2021, Canadian shelters admitted over 21,000 dogs, yet fewer than half were rehomed, and 10% were euthanized due to overcrowding  .
• Between January and June 2022, Toronto shelters saw a 75% increase in dog surrenders compared to the same period in 2021  .
• Breed bias persists: larger and “bully” breeds often face longer shelter stays and lower adoption rates—highlighting the need for breed‑inclusive rescues that give every pup a fair chance.

Why Supporting Local Rescues Is Critical

1. Immediate impact: Local organizations understand the unique challenges in their communities—rural intake surges, urban overcrowding, or seasonal spikes in surrenders.
2. Rehabilitation & training: Many rescues provide vital medical care, behavior rehabilitation, and socialization for dogs with special needs or trauma backgrounds.
3. Community education: Rescues run spay/neuter clinics, pet‑care workshops, and school programs to reduce overpopulation and promote responsible pet ownership.

The Role of Ethical Dog Breeders

While rescues focus on rehoming, ethical dog breeders ensure the long‑term health and well‑being of future litters:

• Health screening: Responsible breeders perform genetic and health tests to minimize inherited conditions.
• Proper socialization: Puppies raised in nurturing environments are better adjusted and easier to train.
• Lifetime support: Ethical breeders often offer mentorship, health guarantees, and a commitment to take back dogs if circumstances change.

Partnering with reputable breeders helps combat puppy mills and unscrupulous operations—so every puppy starts life under the best possible care.
