The Manitoba government says it has seized more than 130 dogs living in unsanitary conditions at a home north of Winnipeg.
The province says animal welfare officials executed a search warrant at the property on Thursday, and they found many dogs in distress and in need of medical attention.
The animals were transferred to the Winnipeg Humane Society, where they are being treated and are to be put up for adoption at a later date.
The government says none of the dogs had to be euthanized.
It says no other information about the animals is being released, as the case is being investigated under the province’s Animal Care Act.
The seizure comes after more than 60 Maltese dogs were removed from a home in Winnipeg.
