Auburn, WA – A western Washington animal shelter is over capacity after taking in a staggering 82 dogs from one person. The Auburn Valley Humane Society has reached out to the public for assistance after taking the surrendered dogs into their care:
Community, we need your help! 🚨
Last night, Auburn Valley Humane Society worked alongside the Auburn Police Department, led by Animal Control Officer Ray Peckham, in a large-scale animal surrender. On site, our team processed intakes for 82 dogs. With our shelter already over capacity, this was a tremendous undertaking.
Noting that an additional 17 dogs went to Seattle Humane.
According to the animal welfare agency, the dogs were well-cared for by their owner, but living in a troubling situation that got out of hand. Aside from flea infestations and skin issues, the dogs are of a healthy weight.
The shelter has options for people interested in lending a hand:
Donate supplies: Visit our Amazon Wish List to send much-needed items directly to the shelter. We are also accepting drop-off donations of clean, gently used towels and fleece blankets.
Give financially: Your donations will help us provide medical care, medications, flea treatment, and dewormer for these dogs. Every dollar makes a difference!Find Auburn Valley Humane on Facebook at this link.
