That’s part of a poster you’ll see soon at local businesses, according to Teri Ensley of Furry Faces Foundation (F3), in a drive to help the hundreds of dogs rescued from “puppy mills” north of Seattle. Here’s what’s needed, and how you can help:

300+ Dogs and Puppies Seized From Three Puppy Mills

Furry Faces Foundation, [F3], and multiple West Seattle Businesses are teaming to collect donations of supplies to assist with the care of the dogs and puppies that have been seized from three puppy mills. It appears that these puppy mills are part of a puppy mill ring and F3 wouldn’t be surprised to see more seizures in the near future. Thank you for caring and helping these animals.

Everett Animal Shelter and Saving Pets One at A Time need help with the following supplies:

• Dog and puppy food – preferred types are Canidae, Natural Balance or Nutro Ultra lamb/rice, small bites
• Wee Wee pads
• Grooming tools and dog toys
• Freshly washed blankets, towels, beds and crate pads-all sizes
• Dishes—stainless steel preferable (for sanitation reasons)
• Liquid laundry detergent and bleach
• Paper towels
• Monetary donations for veterinary care

The following West Seattle businesses are accepting the above donations. Please check back frequently as more businesses will be added soon.

  6. There are a few of us here in WS who are already foster parents for dogs and cats from the Seattle Animal Shelter. If they need help up North with these dogs, hopefully they can contact the S.A.S. and let us know. We’d be happy to help.

  7. I have no idea how to lobby, but I am so sick of pathic people running puppy mills and people being cruel to animals, I am going to Olympia for an event the Humane Society has posted on their site. I would like to find a couple of people passionate about animal rights to go to Olympia with me. I will drive.

    This event starts in the morning, Thurs. Feb. 12th(so plan on taking the day off from work). A Humane Society rep will speak to the entire group advising us on what to do. I have no idea how many people will be participating but I imagine 50 – 100+? from all over the state. You may
    e-mail me directly at csw2119@gmail.com

  8. If you do go to this from West Seattle, please send us photos. We cannot go to Olympia on that date — gotta stay here and cover the news in the backyard — but would love to show pix of West Seattleites participating.

  9. FYI- some makes of the Canidae food have been found to have contaminations from Spring-Summer of ‘08.. I would stay away from it unless you can determine if the food was processed later.
