(Council Bluffs/KETV, Omaha) — Officials with the Midlands Humane Society took in dozens of dogs from two separate confiscations in Council Bluffs, late last week. KETV reports the 73 dogs were given food, water, and shelter. They will be groomed, neutered, and have needed procedures done over the next several days.

Council Bluffs Animal Control took 14 dogs from one residence on Thursday afternoon. Later Thursday, 59 dogs and one cat were surrendered after living in “unfavorable conditions.” Most of the dogs are Shih-Tzu or Shih-Tzu mixes ranging in age puppies to mature adults. The cat was also a full adult.

Midlands Humane Society was already at capacity, so the added 73 dogs are putting their resources to the test. They expect some of the dogs will go to other humane societies, and they are not up for adoption at this time.
