FORT LAUDERDALE – Lots of South Floridians are ready to open their hearts and homes after more than three dozen rescued dogs arrived at the Humane Society of Broward County.
The 40-plus beagles were removed from a mass breeding facility in Virginia which was riddled with animal welfare concerns. The dogs will be put up for adoption once they are checked out and given a clean bill of health.
Cherie Wachter, VP of marketing for the shelter, said they have received more than a thousand applications for the dogs, and no further applications are being accepted. She said they are reviewing the applications and appointments are being set up for next week.
