BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Due to a massive influx of seized dogs, including 46 poodles and 33 Toy Australian Shepherds, the Humane Society of Central Oregon said they are currently not accepting new intakes. Currently, the shelter is running at a 200% capacity.
The Humane Society noted that the 46 poodles rescued from an Alfalfa Puppy Mill can not be adopted at this time because they are part of an ongoing court case, and the timeline is unknown.
They added that the best way to help is by adopting one of their many other animals, or fostering a pet who’s ready for a home today. If adoption isn’t possible, a donation will go towards food, medical care, and supplies for animals that urgently need them.
