Winnipeg Humane Society swamped as province seizes 130 dogs from Manitoba home

The Winnipeg Humane Society says it has its hands full dealing with a massive influx of animals after a historic seizure by the province.

The WHS said Tuesday that the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian-Animal Welfare recently removed more than 130 dogs from a home north of Winnipeg, and most of the animals have been taken in by the humane society.

This comes only three months after more than 60 dogs were seized from a Winnipeg home and seized by Animal Services before being taken in by WHS.
