Traffic was backed up in Parkersburg Saturday morning for hundreds coming in to apply to adopt one of the more than 900 dogs surrendered from Whispering Oaks Kennel.
The Humane Society of Parkersburg opened up the flood wall building behind the shelter on 29th and Poplar Streets to invite the public in to see the remaining 60 dogs.
You may remember last week Wood County Sheriff deputies served a search warrant at Whispering Oaks Kennel and the owner surrendered her more than 900 dogs to the Humane Society.
Humane Society officials said more than eight hundred of the dogs have gone on to humane organizations around the country for rehabilitation.
They've selected 60 of the dogs that they say are the most readily adoptable dogs.
So Saturday they opened their doors to people interested in adopting these animals.
"They may still have some issues, some socialization issues, some housebreaking issues, we do encourage people to put in applications and we'd love to keep these applications on file for the wonderful dogs and cats we have at our shelter as well, we have quite a few of them," said Maryann Hollis, executive director of the Humane Society of Parkersburg.
If you're interested in applying to adopt one of the dogs you can visit the building between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday or Thursday between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
You'll need to fill out an application and pay a 100 dollar fee.

Also the owner of Winding Road Kennel said there was some confusion on the kennel the dogs are from.
They were from Whispering Oaks Kennel which is a breeding kennel and Winding Road Kennel is pet care service kennel.
