‘Great candidates for adoption’: Second chance for 68 dogs seized from Winnipeg home

A second chance could be coming for dozens of dogs seized from inhumane conditions at a Winnipeg home.

A second chance could be coming for dozens of dogs seized from inhumane conditions at a Winnipeg home.

Animal Service officers and Winnipeg police went to a home in Richmond West Wednesday for a well-being check, where they discovered the dogs.

The 68 Maltese dogs of varying ages were living in inhumane conditions, officials said, with the pups covered in feces and traumatized.

They are now receiving treatment at the Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS), where it is believed that all will survive.

“I think we will have 68 live outcomes,” said WHS CEO Jessica Miller.

WHS says that while they appear scared and shaken at times, many are still very social and good candidates for a new owner.
