There were 31 adult German shepherds and 12 puppies living in "urine-soaked" kennels on a property southeast of Prince George when BCSPCA officials went to rescue them.
Dozens of German shepherd dogs found living in deplorable conditions have been taken into custody by the BCSPCA.
There were 31 adult German shepherds and 12 puppies living in “urine-soaked” kennels on a property southeast of Prince George when BCSPCA officials went to rescue them.
“The plywood floors in their outdoor kennels were soaked with urine and there were piles of feces,” Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA’s chief of protection and outreach services, said in a press release.
“The stench was overwhelming.”
Moriarty said the dogs were circling and weaving inside their kennels and bashing their muzzles into the walls, which are sure signs of distress.
“When our animal protection officers entered their kennels, the dogs were so paralyzed with fear that some just cowered in the back corner, staring into the wall,” Moriarty said.
“It was heartbreaking.”
The dogs were also very underweight with body condition scores ranging from one to three out of nine. An ideal score would be five.
