Beyond Cute is an awareness campaign to encourage pet owners to look beyond cute photos to ensure their new furry family member is a puurrrrfect match. The campaign was developed collaboratively with participants in the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture Minister’s Forum on Animal Protection.
Asking questions about veterinary care, temperament, and the animal’s background will ensure that you’re getting your pet from a responsible source and is one of the best ways to protect animals from harmful situations. Look beyond the cute pictures and ask the hard questions.
