WHS officials said Wednesday, May 4th the dogs were rescued from the home at the request of Burnett County Health & Human Services officials.
The dogs’ owner was apparently overwhelmed, trying to care for too many dogs, and WHS officials say the owner surrendered all 12 of the dogs to the WHS.
The dogs were then on their way from Burnett County to Milwaukee.
WHS officials said on Facebook: “We will have more details (Thursday), including how you can help the Samoyeds, but we promise that from here on out, they’ll receive loving, expert care they deserve.”
The Wisconsin Humane Society is accepting donations if you would like to support the care of these dogs.
UPDATE:
May 12, 2016 - With full hearts, we proudly announce that all 12 dogs have found fantastic homes! Thank you to everyone who adopted, donated, and supported these great pups along the way. We're honored to have helped them begin a new chapter in their lives and we look forward to hearing updates from their families. Congratulations, Sammies!
