Dozens of animals found in Lake Stevens house where man died
LAKE STEVENS -- Emergency responders found a few surprises during a recent welfare check: 40 dogs, six cats and six birds.
The animals were found living in crates in a home in the 9100 block of 42nd Street NE, near Lake Stevens, officials said. A man who lived at the home was found dead.
The animals were removed from the home, said Vicki Lubrin, manager of Snohomish County Licensing & Animal Control Services. Investigators believe the dogs had been without food or water for about three days.
They are receiving care at the Everett Animal Shelter, Lubrin said. Shelter workers are asking for donations of money, liquid laundry detergent and bleach to help with the care of all the new animals. Money will be used for veterinary treatment and appropriate food for the animals, she said.
Money donations can be sent to the Animal Rescue Foundation at P.O. Box 12817, Everett, WA 98206 or to the Snohomish County Animal Benefit Bequest Fund at 3000 Rockefeller Ave MS306, Everett, WA 98201.
