Puppy Mill Horror

A horrific case of animal-abuse in the Lower-Laurentians. The SPCA raided a puppy mill on Kildaire in Rawdon this afternoon, rescuing dozens of dogs from hellish conditions. They were being kept in steel-cages stacked floor-to-ceiling with several animals in each cage. The dogs were terrified, covered in open sores, infested with parasites and starving. Many were dead. Rebecca Aldworth of Humane Societies International says it's one of the worst cases they've seen.
The conditions at this puppy mill were by far the worst we have ever encountered. Ammonia burned our eyes and noses. The dogs were living in tiny wire cages stacked on top of one another. They had little or no access to food or water. Some were in cages in closets. Others were confined with deceased companions. Ninety percent of the dogs we rescued were severely emaciated, and many needed immediate medical attention.
All of the animals are now in an emergency shelter, free from the squalid cages where they had been doomed to spend their lives.
109 live dogs, 7 cats and a rabbit were seized from the puppy-mill. The SPCA is now looking for foster homes to nurse them back to health. The SPCA's brought on extra people to handle the logistics.
Contact the SPCA or Humane Societies International Canada at 514-395-2914 (hsicanada.ca) if you can foster one of these dogs.
