Plethora of Puppies Coming to Shelter

The Ozaukee County Humane Society-Saukville Campus has plenty of pets that are looking for a home. Available pets are showcased on the society's website, and Patch will feature the critters every week.

This week features Jill and Polly, 2-month-old labrador-retriever mixes, who are both spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Jill has some white fur on her paws and chest, while Polly is all black.

The Humane Society received a shipment of nearly 40 puppies that will be available for adoption starting Thursday, and will also be getting more puppies before its grand opening celebration on Saturday. All of the puppies will be spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
