Almost a year has passed since 17 husky puppies were rescued from being neglected, left out in the cold and hungry on a property in the Interior.
In an update posted on the SPCA’s website on Nov. 30, the SPCA happily reported that the puppies — now full-grown dogs — have settled in nicely to their new homes.
When the dogs were discovered by RCMP and animal control last winter, the owner surrendered the animals to animal control who held them overnight before transferring the dogs to the local BC SPCA branch on Christmas Eve.
At the time, BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty said it was a “true Christmas miracle” that the puppies were saved from neglect and brought in from the cold.

A naming contest for the puppies was held earlier this year while they were awaiting adoption with the public voting on a Northern God theme.
Soon after, all 17 puppies found their loving forever homes.
“We’re happy to report they are happy and healthy. Thankfully, this Christmas looks a lot different for these adorable dogs,” reads the SPCA’s update.
