Within 48 hours, the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County took in 15 dogs from three different abandonment cases; 13 of the dogs were puppies. The first situation began when Pierce County Animal Control brought in seven puppies they found in a duffel bag outside. Two hours later, two German Shepard puppies were brought to the shelter after someone saw them being dumped on a property. Shortly after that shelter intake, a delivery driver found four baby doodles in a cardboard box on the side of the road. Those puppies had two adult dogs with them and were all taken to the shelter where the puppies are still being treated. “The four puppies that were found in the cardboard box, they arrived very weak and lethargic,” said Lindsey Heaney, with the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. “So, our veterinary team has them in isolation right now just to monitor them, make sure they don't have anything more serious, such as parvo or giardia, which can be very serious and life-threatening for those puppies.” Read more: https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/tacoma-humane-society-facing-increase-dog-surrenders-pierce-county-pets-animal-control/281-a89d7825-d1ed-4cc9-acb6-585557bc893a
