Ontario SPCA officers found 42 Alaskan Husky and Malamute-type sled dogs at the location. Officers discovered dogs with large, open wounds that had been left untreated, as well as numerous older, partially healed and infected wounds. A subsequent veterinary examination of three dogs surrendered into the care of the Ontario SPCA revealed broken and infected teeth, fever and a swollen, painful leg that caused one dog to limp badly.<\/p>\n<p>Shani Ride, 47, pleaded guilty at the Provincial Offenses Court in Bracebridge on November 22, 2016 to permitting distress. A Justice of the Peace sentenced her to a five-year prohibition on owning or caring for any dogs, with the exception of one dog, which must be examined by a veterinarian every three months. She is also subject to unannounced inspections of her property by the Ontario SPCA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith resources available to help people who are unable to care for their animals, there really is no excuse when it comes to neglecting to care for your animals,\u201d says Alison Green, Senior Inspector, Ontario SPCA. \u201cIf you fail to provide for them, there will be consequences under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you see an animal in distress, contact the Ontario SPCA\u2019s province-wide 24-hour dispatch centre at 310-SPCA.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read these related stories on Doppler:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/kennel-owner-charged-ospca-giving-up-sled-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Kennel owner charged by OSPCA now giving up sled dogs<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/former-owner-of-kennel-had-concerns-in-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\">Former owner of kennel being investigated by OSPCA had concerns in 2014<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
