Lake Bay, WA – Pierce County authorities seized 68 dogs and puppies from an alleged dog breeder in Lake Bay. According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, many of them were sick with parvovirus and one died enroute to a veterinarian.
In a public release, the authorities said, “When Animal Control and deputies arrived, 68 dogs were located in a double-wide trailer. There were many dogs caged all around the house and approximately 4-6 female dogs with litters of puppies loose inside the trailer. Many of the dogs in cages did not meet the minimum size standard and there was no water. There were dogs and puppies found sick and lethargic.”
Two more puppies had to be euthanized because they were suffering from parvo and were too sick for treatment.
The dogs and puppies were all seen by a veterinarian and are being boarded. The authorities said, “All the dogs and puppies were transported to an Animal Hospital where they were examined by a licensed veterinarian. After the examinations, the dogs were transported to a boarding facility for safe-keeping during the criminal investigation.
Animal Cruelty charges have been forwarded to a prosecutor for review and charging.”
