Most of seized dogs get homes

Animal cruelty trial set to begin on July 16

The majority of 64 dogs seized from a Grapeview property in April have been placed in permanent homes, Humane Society of Mason County President Katherine Johnson told the Journal.

Skittles, a rat terrier, is the last dog remaining at HSMC from the confiscation and is available for adoption through the group's website at hsmcwa.org.

Other rescue partners, including Joint Animal Services of Thurston County, Seattle Humane Society, Kitsap Humane Society, Smidget Rescue, Pasado's Safe Haven, and Wenatchee Valley Humane Society still have a few of the Grapeview dogs available, Johnson said.

The first dog adopted, Chinook, went to a Pierce County animal control officer who "fell in love with this terrified puppy," according to a statement from HSMC.

Mason County Sheriff's Office deputies seized more than 60 dogs and one horse from Beth Evans in Grapeview during an animal cruelty investigation, according to court documents.
