Talbot Humane Society Takes in Neglected Puppies

Many of the 310+ dogs that were found a couple of weeks ago in a barn in Eden are finding forever homes. 22 of those dogs ended up at Talbot Humane. According to the director, the dogs came in the shelter with varying degrees of neglect. Volunteers from around the area are helping to rehab the dogs to get them ready for adoption. If you are unable to take in one of the pups, you can still donate to Talbot Humane to help care for them. The link where you can help is here.
