When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

I was doing a delivery in white swan the other day .. I got out of my vehicle on mission and pom pom road .. there was like 10 dogs and a couple of puppies that came up to me out of bushes along the road they were very skinny and starving some of them had wounds on there bodies.. I got off work went and bought a 48 pound bag of dog food and went back out and fed them .. I'm hoping someone on here can pass this along to somebody .. I'm not close to white swan .. I live in Prosser.. they are .mostly cow dogs except for a few ..

probably dumped

Makes me so angry 😠 that people find it so damn easy to dump their dog or cat. It breaks my heart 💔 I wish I still drove and lived closer. I rescued a puppy almost a year ago if I could find homes for them I would try. Unfortunately its not easy to do I have found some animals that were dumped great new homes in the past but its getting harder and harder to do. I hope people read your post and decide to take one of the dogs.

CSO WEEKLY

With temperatures forecasted to rise into the 70’s this week, it’s a good time to refresh on the dangers of animals in hot vehicles.

Did you know on a 75 degree day, the inside of a vehicle can potentially reach 100 degrees within an hour. On a 90 degree day, the inside of a vehicle can exceed 120 degrees within 20 minutes. Cracking your window does not slow temperature rise quickly enough for the safety of the animal.

Cats and dogs pant to cool themselves because they cannot effectively cool themselves like us humans can. Heat stroke can happen quickly leading to organ failure and possibly death. Sign and symptoms of animal heat stroke include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, lethargy, and collapse.

Keeping your animal confined in an unattended motor vehicle is a violation of YMC 6.20.125 (RCW 16.52.340) and depending on the circumstances could possible lead to animal cruelty charges. ...
