The Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington is offering a $7,500 reward for anyone who has information on the whereabouts of four allegedly kidnapped puppies.
HRC said that the pups went missing sometime in late August when the animal welfare organization received a call about a dog tied to a poll on Crittenden Street NE.
That dog was Godiva, a labrador mix that was malnourished and pregnant when HRC originally took her in in mid-July.
Godiva gave birth to a seven-puppy litter in early August while in HRC’s care, and the organization said that she and the pups were then transferred to a foster home that could better accommodate them during the critical eight- to 10-week window when the puppies are first born.
