The Brief Heartwood Haven Sanctuary in Roy rescued 67 abused animals from a Thurston County property, where they were found living in filth and surrounded by rotting carcasses without food or water. Heartwood Haven, which rescues hundreds of animals annually, is seeking volunteers and donations to support their efforts, especially after several large-scale rescues this summer. On Saturday, Heartwood Haven Sanctuary sprang into action after receiving a call to rescue animals from a Thurston County property in Rochester. Heartwood Haven is testing the animals for diseases through bloodwork, fecal exams, and mouth swabs, before they can put them up for adoption. Heartwood Haven rescues 200 to 300 animals every year, with roughly 85 percent coming from cruelty cases.
