Affleck added that items in the RV were “piled to the ceiling”, including a back room that was so full the door couldn’t be opened.

The only counter was also overwhelmingly covered in ashtrays and dirt.

All animals were then immediately taken to a BC SPCA Animal Centre.

“Heartbreakingly, all the animals were desperate for attention,” reports the manager of the animal centre. “They all had obvious skin conditions, overgrown nails and reeked of urine and cigarette smoke. They deserved so much better and I am glad we can start to heal them.”

The pets were dewormed and treated for a range of conditions. Most were also shaved and treated for fleas and other skin issues.

“The veterinarian also reported the cat was dehydrated and had impacted anal glands,” said Affleck. “The Chihuahua was missing his front teeth, and his back molars are in bad shape.”

More than two weeks later, BC SPCA reports that all five animals are now starting to show their personalities.

“The cat is chatty and very affectionate,” said the manager. “The Shiba Inu mix is full of energy and just loves getting attention from people, as do the two puppies and our hairless Chihuahua has the most interesting and lovable little face.”
