Dogs seized during raid almost ready for adoption

GAINESVILLE - Nearly 60 dogs seized from a north Georgia kennel earlier this month are almost ready for adoption.

Rick Aiken, head of the Humane Society of Hall County, says the shelter is struggling to get all the dogs spayed and neutered. He says the dogs also needed extra skin and dental work because of the unsanitary conditions in which they were found.

He says he is considering bringing in an extra veterinarian over the weekend to perform the surgeries.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture seized the dogs March 4 from a Cumming breeder. The dogs are mostly small breeds, such as Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahuas and dachshunds.
