UPDATE!
Seventh puppy found - tips come
in
|
 |
King County Animal Control has revealed that the body of a seventh puppy
had been found, in the same dumpster - dead. This, following the initial
sweep of the dumpster. Apparently the deputy, responding to the call
from hikers who found the puppies, rushed the puppies to the shelter for
veterinary care. Upon returning, and doing a more thorough search, a
seventh puppy, a female weighing only two pounds, was buried under
layers of garbage in the container. The condition of the body and
necropsy performed revealed the seventh puppy was severely malnourished,
dehydrated, worm-ridden and, according to KCAC, "appears to have died
from exposure". |
|
We have been told by King County Animal Control that
five credible tips have come in
on this heinous case. Our reward is working! We were also informed that
they have no less than six humane officers working this case, for which
everyone is so grateful for.
There are many of new developments
which we cannot release at this time. We are respectful of the vigilance
this case is warranting from KCAC and while we certainly want to tell
you, our dedicated animal supporters, all the news - we simply
cannot at this point.

Our deepest thanks to all who came out en
force and helped flyer our reward posters everywhere. The "trick" to
making a reward work is getting the word out. Volunteers took off of
work and walked for hours in the rain, hanging up posters at businesses
and around the area where the puppies were dumped.
Left, Susan B. posts on the literal
dumpster where the puppies were disposed of. Does anyone know of a mama
dog who recently gave birth and yet the puppies seemed to have
disappeared? |
|
 |
It made us wretch to see the garbage truck
come to empty the dumpster. The crew never checked inside before they
lifted the dumpster in the air and into the grinder. We sat, with tears
in our eyes, imagining what could have happened and questioned how many
times does this happen to unwanted animals who we never hear about in
time? |
|
 |
We also have to thank all of the media who
showed up to cover this case. A company that does media research sent us
a report that showed that over half a million people saw all of the TV
news reports over the course of morning, noon, and evening newscasts.
And that didn't count radio and newspaper coverage. Once again, offering
rewards is all about getting people to hear about them. We have
found that people who do this sort of thing to an animal will sell out
their mother for a nickel. If the right person hears about this reward
(and as we said, solid tips have come in already) then we believe the
person who did this will be exposed. |

Left, Brendan, B., our hero, helped -
again. BJ, as we call him, is always there to help when animals need
him. He's testified at legislative hearings, helped about a hundred
times at Pasado's sanctuary, and comes to every cruelty case hearing to
show his support. If we could just clone people like BJ, the animals
would finally be elevated to the status they truly deserve. |
|
 |
Stay tuned to this website. We'll update
this story as soon as we learn of new developments. And thank you, to
everyone who has donated to our reward fund. If you haven't helped
already, please do

Hikers finishing a picturesque
climb up Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, Washington stumbled on to a
shocking find when they heard whimpering coming from a dumpster. Inside,
six puppies, cowering in the freezing temperatures, clung to life. The
hikers called sheriff's deputies who arrived and took the puppies to the
King County Animal Control shelter. One of the puppies died soon after
rescue. |
