COURTENAY, B.C. — The SPCA says charges of animal cruelty have been laid against a Vancouver Island woman accused of beating a dog that had to be euthanized.
It says Kylie Nikkels of Courtenay, B.C., will face two charges at a court appearance scheduled for Oct. 20.
The SPCA’s senior animal protection officer in B.C. says the seven-year-old teacup Chihuahua named Bianca belonged to Nikkels’ grandmother.
Tiny Heary says the dog was beaten on April 9 when it was left in a home with Nikkels.
