largest and worst puppy mills in Kennewick located in Washington
State.. AEDCA, AEDAW, Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue, Seattle

together, along with HSUS and the Benton County Sheriff's Department to
assess, seek veterinary care, along with foster care and permanent
homes for these animals.
A
rescue fund through the American Eskimo Dog Assn of Washington to cover
the expenses for the dogs has been established for those animals being
cared for through AEDAW in Washington State. Sherry Myers, the

What else you can do to help.....
·
Foster/rehabilitate until we can find forever homes
·
Raise, provide medical care and place litters of puppies
·
And, of course, find as many permanent homes as possible!
Sherry
has 3 dams with litters and 3 dams ready-to-whelp which have been
placed already and approx 10 other
dogs needing foster care currently. Seattle & Portland's
Humane Societies have 100 each.
On
Saturday 5/30/09 three vans left Portland to
pick up the dogs. Temperatures were high today in Kennewick, about 93 degrees, so
the team tried to get the dogs to the Portland shelter
as quickly as possible. OHS animal care manager Autumn White was on
site and said that about half the dogs are in bad shape with urine
burns and coats matted with fecal matter. OHS had volunteer groomers on
standby for Sunday and Monday to help these animals.
