“Arriving on scene, officers observed a dog in distress within the residence,” police said in a news release. “This animal was determined to be in need of immediate assistance, which officers provided.”
Police said they contacted the Brant County SPCA after finding 23 dogs and three cats and the body of one cat inside the home.
The animals are in the care of the SPCA.
