Several animals were found neglected inside a home in Richmond. The dogs and cats were found in abhorrent conditions because the homeowners were unable to get back to Canada to care for their pets. The Regional Animal Protection Society has now taken the animals into its care. – Aug 9, 2020
The animals are said to be in relatively good health considering, but some have matted fur and fleas.
“We were notified by the neighbours about this situation and thank God for that,” Eyal Lichtmann with the Regional Animal Protection Society told Global News.
“We advised anybody out there to please notify us. People can’t get home because of this (COVID-19) situation. These animals shouldn’t be left or neglected because of that.”
