Vancouver, BC – The Humane Society International/Canada, in partnership with the Government of Quebec and local law enforcement, recued more than 500 dogs and puppies from a large-scale commercial breeding facility in Outaouais, Quebec. The animals were seized and removed after multiple investigations indicated dogs were not receiving proper care.
