"Two people dropped off three of the sickened puppies at the Sky Valley fire station, about an hour's drive north-east of Seattle, on Sunday. Officials believe the animals either breathed or ate fentanyl. Firefighters sprayed the anti-overdose medication naloxone up their noses, and also treated them with oxygen and even performed CPR. It wasn't long before their tails started wagging, Brandon Vargas, the battalion chief, said Tuesday."
"Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies tracked down the people believed to have dropped off the dogs and found three more puppies that also needed treatment. An animal cruelty and neglect investigation is under way. The pair claimed they were caring for the puppies temporarily, authorities said. There have been a number of other cases nationally where pets have been saved after being exposed to fentanyl or other opioids."
Two people dropped off three sickened puppies at the Sky Valley fire station about an hour northeast of Seattle. Officials believe the animals either breathed or ate fentanyl. Firefighters administered naloxone nasally, provided oxygen and performed CPR, and the puppies recovered quickly. Sheriff's deputies tracked down the people believed to have dropped off the dogs and found three additional puppies that needed treatment. An animal cruelty and neglect investigation is under way. The puppies have clean bills of health but will remain quarantined for about one more week before being released for adoption. The Everett shelter has been overwhelmed with adoption offers.
