TACOMA, Wash. —
Another Humane Society employee was suspended without pay for three days.
Shelter spokeswoman Kitty Gibbs told The News Tribune that the workers were both 15-plus year veterans of the shelter. One employee is a woman and the other is a man.
Gibbs said shelter officials instituted a new set of policies designed to ensure that what Humane Society officials have called "a tragic error" never happens again.
The 7-week-old mixed-breed puppies were euthanized less than six hours after a neighbor took them to the shelter. The owner of the dogs said they somehow escaped from his Point Defiance area home.
