Dog rescues regularly save animals from horrific conditions in other countries and bring them to Canada for adoption and fostering.
The upcoming ban will even prevent rescuers from saving dogs from the meat trade in countries where they are bred for food.
Animal rights groups in Canada are asking the government to add an exemption for dog rescues, similar to import rules in the United States.
The United States Centers for Disease Control added an exemption to their rabies policy allowing dogs from high-risk countries as long as they meet vaccination and quarantine criteria.
