The B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) rescued 59 dogs from an “irresponsible breeder” in B.C.’s central Interior last week, and although the dogs were distressed and in need of urgent care, they are recovering well, says spokesperson Kaila Butler Wolf.
The dogs—including 12 chihuahuas, 4 French bulldogs, and 43 Cane Corsos—were rescued from a home in Quesnel after a concerned member of the public reached out to the BCSPCA in November regarding the animals’ welfare. On Dec. 4, animal protection officers arrived onsite and were shocked.
