A Monday morning fire possibly caused by a heat lamp destroyed a garage containing seven dogs and partially damaged the nearby home at 9209 N. Brooks Road, near the intersection of West Coulee Hite Road.
Owners Margo Mossburg and husband Dennis told the Spokesman-Review they were able to save 16 dogs and two cats from the house, which serves as Dachshund Rescue NW and the Dachshund Club of Spokane.
Mossburg said they discovered the fire in the early morning hours after it was too late to save the animals kenneled in the garage. The rescue service, which works with the Spokane Humane Society, has operated for 17 years and has found homes for 69 dogs this year.
The Mossburgs are now trying to find both new and temporary homes for the displaced dogs. For information call Dachshund Rescue NW at (509) 796-2140 or visit spokanewienerdogs.org.
