Ban on rehoming XL bully dogs delayed after concerns from animal welfare charities

"Following engagement with animal welfare charities and shelters, existing XL Bully dogs already in these facilities will be permitted to be rehomed or exported until February 1, 2025."

"Minister for Rural and Community Development Heather Humphreys signed the legislation to ban XL bully dogs this week following a number of serious attacks in recent months."

"Some animal welfare organisations have voiced concerns over the implementation of the new rules, fearing the laws will lead to increased abandonment."
