State animal inspectors are trying to shut down a dog breeding facility in Larimer County. The move comes after inspectors found several dead, frozen puppies at the facility earlier this month.
On Tuesday state inspectors will ask a district judge to label the manager of Blue Wolf Ranch, Storm Cloudin, an “unfit owner.” That label could lead to the revocation of Cloudin’s state license.
In December, the Larimer Humane Society began investigating Blue Wolf Ranch, located in southwest Loveland. Animal control officers with the Humane Society removed several puppies citing improper care, but later returned them.
State inspectors started closely monitoring the facility around the same time.
Since Dec. 3, Blue Wolf Ranch has failed five inspections, according to the state’s chief inspector, Kate Anderson.
On Feb. 10, inspectors found several dead puppies at the facility. They concluded the animals froze to death.
“We are really upset about what we found there,” Anderson said. “This is not something that should happen on these types of facilities.”
