Animal welfare inspectors remove 'large number of dogs' from sledding company in Ontario
CBC
Animal welfare inspectors have removed "a large number of dogs" from two properties associated with a dog sledding company in Ontario, the provincial solicitor general's ministry confirmed on Tuesday.
Officials from Animal Welfare Services inspected properties associated with Windrift Adventures in Oro-Medonte Township, north of Barrie, and in Severn Township, north of Orillia, on Sept. 23, according to Brent Ross, spokesperson for the solicitor general's ministry.
The dogs were rescued during the inspection, Ross said in an email to CBC Toronto on Tuesday night.
"The animals are being provided shelter and have received care," Ross said in the email.
Ross declined to say what prompted the rescue of the dogs, how many animals were involved and whether any needed veterinary care. He also declined to say where the dogs are being looked after currently.
He said the inspection is continuing and it would be inappropriate for the ministry to provide further comment.
It is not known if Windrift Adventures is appealing the seizure of its dogs. The company has not yet responded to a request for comment.
