Wolf-dog hybrids seized

CRANDON - A northern Wisconsin woman is expected to face charges after 30 wolf-dog hybrids and 14 horses were seized in the Crandon area.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said authorities received complaints about the owner breeding wolf-dog hybrids — the result of breeding a wolf with a domestic dog. Residents also complained about the animals frequently escaping, posing a safety risk.

The ASPCA said it helped with removing, transporting and sheltering the animals.

WSAW-TV reports members of an ASPCA team found the wolf-dog hybrids living in deplorable conditions, many without access to proper food or water.

Responders also found horses apparently suffering from malnutrition.
