Poulsbo, Washington – In the early morning hours of January 16, a fire broke out at a Poulsbo home, killing dozens of dogs and cats. According to Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue, the blaze was reported around 2:30 a.m. by a neighbor of the residence located in the 1400 block of NE Paulson Road.
Responding firefighters found the structure fully engulfed. They were able to identify the homeowner by running plates on a vehicle parked outside – the individual was not home but arrived at the scene a short time later.
The individual identified himself as a “dog breeder.” Of the dozens of dogs inside, only three were saved.
As reported by KOMO News, an estimated 12 cats also perished in the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No word on the condition of the three surviving dogs.

did you see the dog that survivied…I think the ones who died lucked out….you can imagine the conditions they were living in…. this Breeder should be hung
They should demand that sites like this are required to install fire systems that would be activated by high heat and connected to fire houses for a quick response. Frankly I’m tired of breeders that do this .An active fire system with a fire suppression system would have saved these animals.
NOO this is so bloody sad. Poor animals locked in cages tells me wtf kind of human he is ! I am so sick to fckn death of the cruelty to all animals on this earth i truly am. This man needs investigating and made to stop breeding . Why breed when shelters are full and having to pts !!!!
people who breed animals are nothing but greedy ! why was the how ow e not how at 2 am?? These poor dogs and cats were all caged and could not escape the flames and smoke! They died terrified and in agony! Please hold this owner responsible for their deaths and prosecute him for each death! May they all rest in peace 🩷🐾😢🩵
Sounds like puppy mills. illegal. these precious animals suffered greatly. Charges must be brought. Full investigation. no fire safety
