About 20 dogs were rescued from District Dogs during an evening storm but others perished, officials said.
Dogs perished amid floodwaters that burst into a canine care center in Northeast Washington on Monday evening as rapidly rising runoff from heavy rains also trapped motorists beneath a nearby underpass on Rhode Island Avenue.About 20 dogs were saved from inside District Dogs in the 600 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE, but others died, said D.C. fire chief John Donnelly. He said he could not specify the number while pet owners were being informed of the losses.
In an interview with The Washington Post last year, owner Jacob Hensley said flooding affected his business three times in four weeks. During construction of the facility, Hensley said, he wasn’t warned of any possible flooding issues.
