SPCA is investigating 14 dog deaths at Saskatoon boarding kennel over weekend
Saskatoon’s SPCA has started an investigation into the deaths of 14 dogs at a boarding kennel over the weekend.
The organization’s executive director, Patricia Cameron, says she was shocked when she learned of the incident Saturday at Playful Paws Pet Centre where the animals appear to have perished from too much heat.
The centre posted on its Facebook page that a mechanical failure on a rooftop heating unit caused it to continuously push heat into one of its upstairs kennel rooms.
It says the heat continued to the point that the dogs died.
