The appellant appealed a Statement of Account (SOA) issued by Animal Welfare Services for $2,402.88, representing veterinary and boarding costs for a dog removed due to non-compliance with an order to provide veterinary care.
The appellant did not dispute the necessity of the care but sought to have the SOA revoked or reduced due to an inability to pay.
The Animal Care Review Board found that the costs incurred were actual and reasonable.
The Board further held that the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove financial hardship on a balance of probabilities.
The appeal was dismissed and the SOA was confirmed.
