After responding to an advertisement of puppies being available from a dog breeder location on Manitoulin Island, a Gore Bay couple brought home a total of 20 puppies who had fur matted with feces, lice, fleas, some with open sores and bloated bellies with worms. The couple informed Animal Welfare Services who did an investigation at what the couple suspected was a puppy mill. However, a spokesperson for the Ministry of the Solicitor General told The Expositor no animal welfare concerns were identified during the investigation.
