Dog Seizures
My heart is saddened as I read the news that in Skagit County, near where I live, almost 200 dogs have been seized due to unsafe living situations. Many of which are small breed dogs like my own. These poor furbabys have a tough life ahead of them since most will require training and LOTS of love in order to be adoptable. So many people will not take a chance on this kind of adoption and for good reason; however, the dogs deserve to live and to live in a loving, stable home. I have rescued many animals but never in this type of situation. The fact that some of these poor critters are beloved Chihuahuas makes me want to rush over and take as many as I can fit in my house. My friends are probably figuring out ways to tie me down so I don’t do this since I am pretty well maxed out on pets I can have in my home. What are your thoughts about this dreadful situation?

While doing research on another topic I came across the article below that talks about 155 dogs that were seized from a breeder in Snohomish County. This is an epidemic and something needs to be done to stop the horrors!

Actually, the more publicity that occurs over the wrongness of the situation, along with the fact there are small breeds involved, makes it quite certain all these little ones will find homes. I’m glad they will and that this situation was stopped- thanks for bringing it into the light here.
