n t e s v E News & Fluff News Pups of f Hom e r e! Mo More puppies are off 1) to a forever home, and this is great news! Unfortunately, for now, this is just in America. A recent law change in San Francisco has banned the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats! As well as this, pet shops are also no longer allowed to sell pup- pies under eight weeks old. These laws will help to stop the abuse of animals being mistreated. This is fantastic news because it means that less dogs are being put into shelters and more are being adopted. A study carried out by Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine found that the numbers of dogs in shelters across of America had gone down dramati- cally and was at an all-time low! FLUFF Magazine are so glad about this recent change as we hate animal cruelty and we want every pet to have a happy home. at Hampstead e r Ba e G The Great Hampstead rk h T O Bark Off is back for its fourth event on Sunday the 14th May, in aid of London based dog charity, All dogs Matter. The first Great Hampstead Bark Off took place in 2014 and was a success, this year it hopes to be even more marvellous than previous years. Rowena from the charity said: “At pre- vious events we have raised between £1000-1500 on the day so this year we are hoping for it to be bigger and better than ever!” The Great Hampstead Bark Off will be at Parliament Hill in Hampstead Heath and costs £5 to attend. It’s is a jam- packed day full of awesome things to do, all for a great cause so put it in your diaries and enjoy a day that everyone will go mutts for! 4 The day sees dog themed cakes or doggy dishes going head to head in a bake off. Poodle cupcakes and bone shaped dog treats are just few of the bakes you might see at the great Hampstead bark off!
