The Washington Animal Rescue League has accepted 101 of the rescued dogs handed over to the Humane Society of Parkersburg by the owner of Whispering Oaks Kennel this past weekend.

It is the largest group of animals the shelter has helped.

Veterinarians spent thursday cleaning up the dogs and performing medical checkups.

Veterinarian Nicole Eckholm says the dogs are in need of teeth cleaning and vaccinations, and must be socialized.

Just as our shelter in Parkersburg has expressed, Washington Shelter worker Jim Monsma says people who adopt the dogs will need a lot of patience.

101 dogs to Washington, 100 to Missour and 100 to Virginia. When do the folks of West Virginia and the Mid Ohio Valley get to adopt at dog. They are going to ship them all out of the state and we don't get a single one.....but they want us to donate to the cause. This is not good for the new exec. director and how she is treating her new public and her new job.
