LOCAL NEWS - EVERETT -- If you bought a dog or puppy from Wags -n- Wiggles, a Snohomish kennel, Snohomish County sheriff's detectives want to hear from you.
"Anyone who has done business with Wags -n- Wiggles or owner Renee Roske - purchasing a puppy, for example - is asked to e-mail detectives at
puppyinvestigation@snoco.org and describe their experience," sheriffs spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said this afternoon.
Detectives will review the e-mails they receive, she said. They'll follow up as necessary.
Roske has been connected to a Gold Bar-area home where officials rescued nearly 160 dogs from deplorable conditions, court documents show.
Earlier this month, Snohomish County animal control officials issued an order revoking Roske's kennel license.
The Snohomish woman filed an appeal Wednesday seeking to keep her business.
No criminal charges have been filed against Roske.
