THUNDER BAY – A man and a woman face a total of nine charges after a starved dog was discovered in the Picton Avenue area last month.

The dog was found wandering in the Junot and Windsor area of Thunder Bay in mid-March and appeared to be extremely malnourished.



The Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers posted photographs on its Facebook page looking for information and the animal’s owners were located shortly after that.

Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals agent Jeremy Gardiner called the condition of the dog alarming.

Gardiner on Friday confirmed with TBT News that a 28-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman now face a total of nine charges in connection with this incident.

Gardiner added that the dog remains in the possession of the OSPCA where it continues to recover.
