WINNIPEG – Police in Manitoba say an autopsy on a 37-year-old animal rescue worker shows injuries consistent with a dog attack. 

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service says Amanda Nobiss was killed in Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation earlier this month while trying to pick up puppies from a residence.

They say in a news release that she went alone.

The resident wasn’t home, and the owner’s dogs attacked her.

Police say arrangements were made to destroy two male dogs, while K9 Advocacy rescued a female dog and several puppies.

K9 Advocacy, the Winnipeg Humane Society and more than a dozen other groups are calling for all levels of government to increase support for groups trying to rescue stray animals.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 28, 2026.
