Sanaee was convicted in March on two counts of animal cruelty. Court heard from witnesses who saw him using a cattle prod to control dogs, which he did not deny.
Sanaee ran Bark with his partner. In 2014, more than 40 dogs were removed by police after officers received a number of complaints about the treatment of the animals and the conditions inside.
