Acting on a tip from a concerned citizen, the PSPCA removed 16 German Shepherd-type dogs and one Siberian Husky from a property on Bell Road home in Christiana last Wednesday, officials said.

The PSPCA had previously been to the property in November while assisting the Bureau of Dog Law with a warrant. 

At the time, though without a kennel license, the owners of the property were operating as a kennel and puppy dealer in the Commonwealth housing more than 25 animals.

Six Siberian Husky puppies were removed from the property that day and ultimately adopted into new homes.

The animals rescued on Wednesday have not been signed over and will remain in the care of the organization until they are surrendered by the owners or through the courts.
