Dog Boarding Facility Burglarized; Dogs Let Loose

SALEM, OR — A burglary at a canine boarding facility early Wednesday resulted in the escape of nearly a dozen of the furry guests, leaving Salem police to ask the obvious question: Who let the dogs out?

The burglary occurred around 2:30 a.m. March 28 at The Dog Bark, 1290 Hoyt St. SE in Salem, where police reportedly found a shattered window and an open door, through which nearly a dozen of the 26 dogs staying at the facility escaped into the surrounding neighborhood.

All but one of the dogs had been rounded up as of this writing, with police thanking passersby for helping collect the facility's escapees.

Initially, three pups — Kalua, Jovie, and Sonny — were not immediately recovered, police said. But Jovie and Sonny were found Wednesday afternoon.

As of 7 p.m. March 28, Kalua (pictured above) was the only dog still at-large.
