Real Estate Agent Finds Two Starved Dogs In Foreclosed Marijuana Grow House

In Richmond, British Columbia, Richmond News reports:

• The SPCA is looking for the owner or owners of two German shepherds abandoned in a former marijuana grow operation, with the prospect of laying animal cruelty charges. A real estate agent found the dogs -- one dead, the other starving -- on Monday when she went to change the locks on a house that had been handed back to the bank in a foreclosure.

***

• The house had been the subject of a search in January by Richmond RCMP, who found a marijuana grow operation. Two males were arrested, but it appears no charges have yet been approved by the Crown. They therefore cannot be identified. The two men who were arrested in connection with the grow operation did not own the house, said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Pound.

• Pound said police officers who conducted the search were aware that there were dogs in the house, but did not remove them from the house or follow up to make sure they were OK because the two men who were arrested were released. It appears the [...] house was simply abandoned, along with the dogs.
