However, international dog rescue activities have attracted considerable criticism from the veterinary community and the public due to the associated zoonotic disease and public health risks, as well as the potential poor behaviour of international rescue dogs. The Government of Canada has also recently placed a temporary suspension on all commercial dog imports from non-rabies free countries due to the growing concerns of the zoonotic disease risks. To understand the perspectives and experiences of stakeholders involved in dog import activities in Canada, we interviewed nine members in leadership positions of Canadian-based international dog rescue organizations. Thematic analysis of interview dialogue yielded three themes: 1) <jats:italic>Motive<\/jats:italic>, which described the reason behind participants\u2019 involvement in international dog rescue; 2) <jats:italic>Challenge<\/jats:italic>, which described the major difficulties faced in participants\u2019 dog rescue work; 3) <jats:italic>Duty<\/jats:italic>, which described participants\u2019 beliefs on responsible dog rescue practices. Members of international dog rescue organizations described being driven by strong desires to provide animal and humanitarian aid. However, local dog rescue efforts were constrained by logistical and societal barriers unique to the Canadian context. Additionally, the current study revealed both similarities and differences in occupational experiences between international dog rescue organizations and other animal care professions. Specifically, difficulties with the emotional burden associated with caregiving professions was also present within dog rescue work. However, international dog rescue members also experienced additional challenges due to the stigma surrounding international dog rescue operations. Further research on attitudes held by other stakeholders involved in dog import activities, as well as members of Canadian communities needing dog rescue aid may provide meaningful inputs on how to better support and facilitate local and international dog rescue efforts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0300104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T19:28:49Z","timestamp":1717183729000},"page":"e0300104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["\u201cIt\u2019s my calling\u201d, Canadian dog rescuers\u2019 motives and experiences for engaging in international dog rescue efforts"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1321-5372","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kai Alain","family":"von Rentzell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christiana","family":"Bratiotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9992-3101","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Protopopova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0300104.ref001","first-page":"11","volume-title":"Latest Canadian pet population figures released: Press releases","author":"Canadian Animal Health Institute","year":"2019"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0300104.ref002","first-page":"1","article-title":"O\u2019Neill DG.
