Puppy mill dogs get new homes
MONROE, Wash. – Hugs from adoptive families begin to melt months of fear. Dozens of dogs taken from a raid on a Gold Bar puppy mill in January on Sunday took another trip – to new homes.
“We just were heartbroken, about how these animals were kept, and we want to make a change in their lives,” said Al Moser.
The dogs were given names and numbers. more than 400 people offered to adopt just 68 dogs.
The chosen families lined up at Evergreen State Fairgrounds, adoption fees in hand, to bring home a new priceless member of the family.
“She’s probably going to puppy heaven, the things she dreamed about is where she’s going to live,” said Jay Pruehner, who lives just miles from where the dogs were seized.
But compassion is not confined by boundaries.
“We have people who made it here today from Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, from Vancouver, Wash., from Blaine up on the border and all the way out in Port Angeles as well,” said Hilary Anne Hager, Shelter Activities Coordinator for Everett Animal Services.

More than 60 dogs seized from a Gold Bar puppy mill went to new homes.
Among the wagging tails, sniffing and smiling was a touch of sadness. foster families, who helped nurse the animals back to health, had to say goodbye.
“It’s hard to give them up for adoption and stuff but he’s going to a great home,” said one “foster mom.”
Each adoptive family walked away with a starter kit of leashes and toys, but they left a promise.
“We’re going to give her a good home,” said Al Moser.
More than a 150 animals were originally siezed from the Gold Bar home. The rest will be available for adoption through the Everett Animal Shelter or other rescues.
The couple accused in the case face six charges for animal cruelty.
