More charges laid against dog rescue group founder

The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society has levelled more charges against the founder of a Windsor group that rescues dogs.

Officers laid three more provincial animal cruelty charges against the Windsor woman who started the Royals Animal Rescue Service.

Last month she was charged with two counts of permitting an animal to be in distress, two counts of failing to provide adequate and appropriate veterinary care, and one count of failing to comply with orders under the Ontario SPCA Act.

Now the woman faces a count of failing to provide adequate food and appropriate food and water, failing to provide adequate and appropriate sanitary conditions and ventilation, and failing to comply with orders under the Ontario SPCA Act.

The charges are in connection to the alleged neglect of nine dogs in the rescue service's care.

The humane society has seized all nine dogs.

The accused, who will not be named, is expected to appear in court on the first charges July 15.
