Denise Barr, spokeswoman for the Humane Society, did not have exact numbers for how many puppies and kittens were recently transferred, and how many would be available for adoption today; veterinarians are still spaying and neutering the animals.
Monday, the kittens came to the shelter from three different foster homes. Barr said the “kitten season” ran late this year, so the shelter is seeing an influx of feline fur balls in need of loving homes. They have to meet a weight requirement before they can be fixed and made adoptable.
Over the weekend, about 10 puppies — ranging from 3 to 6 months in age — were transferred from a facility in California, where it was tough to place them with families. The smaller, dachshund-Chihuahua mixed breed puppies should have a better chance of finding homes here, Barr said. The pooches were altered this weekend, so prospective families who visited then might not have gotten to meet them. If you’re looking for a new furry friend for the holidays, the shelter is open today from noon to 4 p.m.
