The Winnipeg Humane Society says it's 'bursting' with an overwhelming number of animals in its care after the province seized more than 130 dogs from a home outside the city last week.
Manitoba's veterinarian and animal welfare office removed 137 dogs while searching a home north of Winnipeg on Aug. 1, a provincial spokesperson told Radio-Canada on Tuesday.
Many of the dogs were in distress, in unsanitary living conditions and needed medical attention, the spokesperson said. The dogs were seized under Manitoba's Animal Care Act and into protective custody. None of the animals were euthanized.
Jessica Miller, CEO of the Winnipeg Humane Society, says the organization is caring for many of the seized dogs.
She could not offer many details about the dogs as the province's investigation continues. However, she said they are a mix of adults and puppies, and that they're all small breeds, though not each of the same breed.
"Large removal of animals — be it from backyard breeders, puppy mills, whether it be a mental health situation — puts a tremendous strain on our shelter," Miller said at a Tuesday morning news conference.
"We've been at capacity for so long, almost since post-COVID."
