Animals seized from Orphan Kanines up for adoption next week

RACINE CO. (WITI) -- Officials from the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) announced on Friday, June 13th that an adoption event is scheduled for the animals seized from Orphan Kanines in May.

Those adoptions will occur at the WHS emergency shelter at 5326 Durand Avenue in Racine on Wednesday, June 18th from 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The shelter expects that at least 50 dogs and some of the cats will be available for adoption that day.  Animals not yet ready for adoption will become available as they are medically cleared.

WHS received 80 dogs, 12 cats and 2 pigs from the seizure. Nearly every animal rescued from the deplorable conditions was in need of some medical attention. WHS treated dogs for respiratory infections, ear and eye infections, glaucoma, topical wounds, fleas, dental disease and paw injuries from standing in urine and feces.
