At the end of January, more than 600 abused and neglected dogs were rescued from three different kennels in Mt. Vernon, Wash. Of the 600 rescued dogs, 80 percent were pregnant and it is estimated that ultimately, 1,500 puppies will need homes.
Our hospital associates in the surrounding communities have helped with the rescue efforts to care for the Pets, which were found to be in dire need of food, water and medical attention. Steven Weinrauch, DVM, Banfield, helped organize a spay and neuter event for the rescued dogs on March 1 at our Renton, Wash. Banfield Pet hospital.
The doctors and hospital team at the Renton Banfield location donated their time to spay and neuter more than 40 dogs, as well as perform dental cleanings and tooth extractions. The Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT), Banfield’s charitable arm, and many of Banfield’s partners, such as PetSmart Charities, also donated to help cover the costs associated with the spays and neuters.
Today, most of the Pets are housed at the Everett Animal Shelter, which is now accepting applications to adopt the dogs. If you are interested, please contact them directly to find out how you can adopt a dog or help the shelter with their efforts.
