Alberta SPCA have announced to have made a shocking discovery of 201 dogs in distress, including some emaciated and dehydrated with broken limbs and sores, from a southern Alberta property. According to The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society or AARCS, it was one of the largest removal of dogs in the agency’s history and “one of the worst cases of neglect” the agency has ever seen.

According to the peace officers, they were first called in to the rural property, near Milk River, after reports about animals’ welfare concerns. After a lot of convincing and SPCA officials involvement, the officials were able to convince the owner to voluntarily surrender 60 of the dogs but that was only half of the total dogs on the property. Alberta SPCA spokesperson, Roland Lines, alleged that “we knew there were still dogs on the property,” adding that “further talk with the owner could not convince the owner to surrender any more of the dogs, so that’s why we ended up getting a search warrant.”

Thereafter, the officers returned in January with a search warrant and conducted a thorough search to find 141 additional dogs on the premises, all of them in distress. Lines stated that “the majority of the dogs were on chains staked to the ground.” He alleged that “the chains were of various lengths and some of the dogs were attempting to find shelter underneath abandoned vehicles or old trailers or sheds around the property. It was by no means sufficient shelter. They were doing the best with what they could reach.”
