An individual has been convicted of offences under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, 2019(PAWS Act).

On November 27, 2025, in the Ontario Court of Justice in St. Thomas, Tiffany Calvert was found guilty of:

failure to comply with an order contrary to section 30(4)
failure to provide adequate and appropriate food and water contrary to section 13(1)

Calvert was fined $500 and banned from owning, having custody or care of dogs for four years.

Cruelty to any animal is not tolerated in Ontario. If you think any animal is in distress or being abused, call 1-833-9-ANIMAL (264625).

The PAWS Act came into effect January 1, 2020, making Ontario the first jurisdiction in Canada to implement a full provincial animal welfare enforcement system to enhance animal safety.
As of November 30, 2025, Ontario's Animal Welfare Services issued more than 17,700 distress orders, laid over 2,200 charges for offences under the PAWS Act and removed over 14,500 animals from situations of distress negatively impacting their welfare.
