The appellant appealed a Compliance Order and a Notice of Removal issued by an animal welfare inspector regarding her 14-year-old dog.
The inspector had ordered the appellant to obtain urgent veterinary care for the dog's severe dental and neurological issues.
When the appellant failed to comply due to financial constraints, the dog was removed.
The Animal Care Review Board confirmed both orders, finding the inspector had reasonable grounds to believe the animal was in distress and required immediate care.
The Board declined to return the animal, noting the appellant conceded she could not afford the necessary care and forfeited the dog.
