The government ban on American Bully XL dogs could lead to increased abandonment rates<\/strong>, leading Sheffield animal shelters and charities have warned.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the recent rise in attacks and fatalities, the American Bully XL has been added to the list of banned dog breeds in England and Wales under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the announcement animal shelters and kennels across Sheffield have seen a rise in the abandonment of American XL Bullies, as well as dogs similar in appearance to the Bully, but don\u2019t fall under the government’s definition of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A representative of the Mill House Animal Sanctuary (MHAS) said they have been inundated by owners trying to give up their dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cWe\u2019ve definitely had more abandoned Bullies. We had two this morning that they were trying to get rid of, but we had to refuse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ban will make it illegal for animal shelters to rehome the breed, forcing shelters to refuse accepting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rising abandonment rates have overstretched charities, who are unable to bear veterinary expenses to neuter them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MHAS said: \u201cWe don\u2019t just take dogs. We have cats, horses, birds and we\u2019re underequipped to take large dogs. It\u2019s not the dogs\u2019 fault but the irresponsible owners, but we\u2019re simply unequipped to take large dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe just don\u2019t know what to do with them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cass Bailey of Barnsley Animal Rescue said they have stopped accepting American XL Bullies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cWe don\u2019t have any bullies in our care at the moment and we\u2019ve stopped taking them because we know we won\u2019t be able to rehome them past January.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government announced that starting 1 February, it will be illegal to own, breed, rehome, abandon or sell XL bully dogs. However, owners can apply for a Certificate of Exemption for their dogs but will have to leash and muzzle their dogs in public.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement has sent owners scrambling to procure exemptions for their dogs and adhere to the new stipulations for owning the breed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, two dogs, believed to be XL bullies were seized following an attack on a dog and its owner in Firth Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Yorkshire Police said that XL Bully dogs account for 25 per cent of seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Bailey said: \u201cI think any dog can be nasty. Puppies aren\u2019t born nasty. It\u2019s what people do to them that makes them nasty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
