Tacoma Humane Society asks for help saving ‘6 tiny lives’

Tacoma, WALocal News

The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County is urgently requesting donations after six orphaned puppies arrived at their facility in dire condition. These puppies were found malnourished and dehydrated, struggling for survival after losing their mother several weeks ago. A community member discovered the puppies and brought them to the shelter, where the veterinary team is now providing critical care. CEO Leslie Dalzell emphasized the necessity of community support to ensure they have the resources to respond to animals in urgent need as colder weather approaches. The organization is committed to offering life-saving treatment but requires financial assistance to continue its efforts.

This appeal for donations highlights the shelter's open-admission policy, which mandates readiness for any animal crisis. Donations can be made directly through the Humane Society's website, allowing the public to play a crucial role in the puppies' recovery. The article underscores the importance of community involvement in animal welfare, especially during winter months when more animals may need help.
