Wisconsin Humane Society Overwhelmed With Samoyed Dog Inquiries

MILWAUKEE — 12 "Samoyed" dogs were reportedly rescued from a home in Burnett County Wednesday after the owner surrendered them to the Wisconsin Humane Society.

Since then, WHS officials said they have been “overwhelmed” with support from people “all over the globe” wanting to adopt the dogs.

Below is a post from the Wisconsin Humane Society's Facebook page:

According to a report from FOX 6 online, WHS officials said due to the sheer amount of phone calls, emails and messages received, officials were struggling to get back to everyone while still providing the dogs with the care and attention they need.

WHS officials prepared an FAQ about the Samoyeds, and are directing people to check it out before contacting the overwhelmed staff.

More from FOX 6:

WHS officials said the dogs were assessed on Thursday morning, and WHS officials have decided to keep the dogs at the shelter at least through the weekend, so that they can have time to adjust and settle in.
