Rader and Hope 4 Huskies wish to extend their gratitude to Cliff's Septic Service, and the Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) for their help. Without their services the rescue may have taken longer.

And, there's more. The pups' mama was rescued from the property. She was lingering in the area.
