A woman who runs an animal shelter out of her home in Elrose will now be regularly inspected for the next two years after pleading guilty to a charge under the Animal Protection Act during her trial in Saskatoon Provincial Court Thursday.
Dolores Laplante, who has a background as an animal health technician, admitted to putting her animals in distress as a result of the messy condition of her shelter. Her animal neglect charge under the criminal code was stayed.
