If anyone is looking to give a fluffy pup a loving home, the SPCA has several of them in need of fostering. 

The BC SPCA seized 36 Pomeranian dogs and puppies from a home in Vernon on Saturday, Aug. 3.

The irresponsible breeder was housing the animals in a garage with no ventilation or air conditioning on the property. Three of the adult dogs are pregnant, as the seizure took place after four puppies sick with canine parvovirus were surrendered to the SPCA.

Two of the four puppies have died.

香蕉视频直播淐anine parvovirus (parvo) is a highly contagious disease that requires intensive around-the-clock veterinary care,香蕉视频直播� said BC SPCA senior officer, Eileen Drever. 香蕉视频直播淧uppies are particularly susceptible and even with the best treatment, a good outcome is not guaranteed.香蕉视频直播�

According to Drever, vaccinations and proper hygiene are key to preventing the diseases, however, the owner of the Pomeranians kept groups of dogs in pens that were not cleaned and sanitized, with feces on the floor. 

"Because of their living conditions, all the dogs that have been seized have been exposed to the virus," Drever said. "Pens were set up on the concrete floor of the garage with some wood chips and no bedding. There was diarrhea and vomit in many areas and the dog香蕉视频直播檚 food and water dishes were contaminated with flies and wasps."

Animal protection officers were most disturbed by the discovery of a puppy less than two days old, alone in a wire cage with no bedding. Drever said that they had "no idea" why the puppy had been taken from its mother.

Two of the adult females have post-whelping hair loss and all the adult dogs have matted hair and dental disease. 

The BC SPCA began investigating the breeder after it received a call on the Animal Helpline from an individual who had purchased a puppy who soon became ill and succumbed to parvo.

香蕉视频直播淭his is another strong reminder that people need to do their homework when they make the decision to bring a puppy into their home and family,香蕉视频直播� said Drever. 香蕉视频直播淵ou should always ask to see how the dogs and puppies are being housed and what condition they are in. No one should be supporting irresponsible breeders.香蕉视频直播� 

As this is an ongoing investigation, it is not known when the dogs will be available for adoption. Currently, the BC SPCA needs foster homes for the dogs and anyone interested in being a foster can visit . 

A dedicated animal lover was so moved by the story of these dogs that they agreed to match donations of up to $20,000 to their care.
