183 dogs and puppies taken into RSPCA Qld custody from an alleged puppy farm in South East Queensland.
On Tuesday April 23, RSPCA Queensland Inspectors responded to an animal welfare complaint relating to a large number of dogs on a property allegedly living in poor conditions.
Alongside RSPCA Inspectors, RSPCA animal care and veterinary staff assessed all animals located on the property accompanied by Council and Queensland Police.
As a result of investigations, 183 dogs and puppies were seized by RSPCA Queensland Inspectors and transported to the RSPCA.
All animals are receiving care at the RSPCA in accordance with their varying medical and behavioural needs.
The case is currently under investigation.
If you have an animal welfare concern, please contact the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL or lodge an animal welfare complaint on our website so our team can investigate.
RSPCA Queensland is urging members of the public to do their research before purchasing animals and always consider adopting when looking for a new pet.
If you are intending to buy from a breeder, search for a reputable breeder and visit the property where the animal was born, meet the parents of that pet and ensure the breeder is providing a high standard of care and living conditions for their animals. Visit the Smart Puppy Buying Guide website and Smart Kitten buyers Guide for helpful information when considering welcoming a new pet into your family.
