On December 27, Pierce County Animal Control brought six dogs from a property in Graham to the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. The dogs were left outside in freezing temperatures. Two dogs were found dead on the spot.
One of the dogs was in such terrible shape that the shelter’s veterinary team had to humanely butcher it. The other five were skin and bones, dehydrated, covered in rugs with dried excrement, and infested with fleas.
On December 28, another 14 dogs were brought to the shelter from another facility located in Tacoma. After being left alone to face snow and freezing temperatures, the shelter’s veterinary team is assessing their medical condition and doing everything they can to help.
With so many animals in dire need of help, shelters are full.
The community can help by adopting or fostering an animal today. The shelter has over 40 adoptable dogs, and all of them can be viewed at the shelter website. To help promote adoptions, the shelter will reduce adoption fees by $50 for all dogs between December 30 and January 16.
If you would like to help with medical care for 19 dogs brought in from frigid temperatures, you can do so at the shelter. website, also.
