Detectives from the Goondiwindi Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) as well as investigators from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) Queensland uncovered an alleged puppy farm at a property at Glenarbon yesterday, Queensland Police say.
Around 7.30am, specialist officers attended the address on Bosjnack Road to execute a search warrant.
Upon inspection of the property, officers discovered upwards of 100 dogs and a number of cats living at the property.
Many animals did not appear to have adequate shelter or water and police, having concerns for the welfare of the animals, immediately contacted the RPSCA.
Two dogs required emergency treatment at the property with the other animals seized to be moved to the RSPCA’s Animal Welfare Campus in Wacol for treatment and care.
A 40-year-old man is assisting police and the RSPCA with their inquiries and is due to appear in Goondiwindi Magistrates Court in relation to other matters.
Investigators would like to speak to anyone who may have purchased an animal from the property in the past.
Investigations are continuing.
