separate occasions.
The second shooting resulted in her death.
Join Pasado's in being a voice for Molly!
Molly, a beloved family pet, was fatally shot near her home. Pasado's Safe Haven
receives cases like this much too often. This is why we would like to encourage
people to remember that part of owning a pet is following the law of keeping them contained
and on a leash at all times. It only takes a moment for an animal to become
lost, stolen, or injured. However, in many cases like this, families take all
the necessary precautions to keep their animals safe, and they are still victims of
tragedy.
Pasado’s has reviewed the facts and will be supporting the prosecution
of this case.
Molly couldn’t
speak out for
herself, but you
can be a voice
for her.
The alleged
perpetrator, was arrested and booked into Snohomish County Jail on Nov. 4th pending Charges of:
Felony 1st Degree Animal Cruelty and Fourth Degree Assault.
