Six puppies in rural Washington state are recovering from a suspected fentanyl overdose and will soon be available for adoption. Two individuals dropped off three of the sickened puppies at Sky Valley Fire, leading officials to believe the animals ingested or inhaled fentanyl. Firefighters revived the puppies using naloxone, oxygen, and CPR. Sheriff's deputies located three additional puppies requiring similar treatment, prompting an animal cruelty or neglect investigation into the individuals who claimed to be temporarily caring for the animals. The puppies are currently quarantined at an Everett animal shelter, which has received numerous adoption inquiries, including from the firefighters who rescued them.
