The Humane Society of Richland County is now scrambling to find places to put the dogs. They called the Richland County Dog Warden, but she said they had no room.
“Our shelter is not big enough to house that many, especially since we already have animals currently in our care,” the humane society wrote on Facebook.
Anyone with suggestions on where to house the dogs is asked to call 419-774-4795.
