While most of us were enjoying a Thanksgiving meal surrounded by loved ones and friends, a litter of puppies were clamoring to find a spot to stay warm yesterday. Employees of the Whitley County Humane Society’s shelter found a trash container filled with puppies – “puppies too cute for words,” said volunteer Laura Underwood who is eager to find them good, loving homes.
“They would like to know that they will find a FOREVER home,” Underwood said.
“They are cute, but cuteness wears off, and they want for me to assure you that they will inevitably destroy SOMETHING of value,” she warns. “If you are not in it for the long haul, you need not apply.”
The puppies appear to be a lab mix.
For more information about these and other pets in need of homes in Whitley County, contact the Whitley County Humane Society at 244-6664 or stop by the shelter at 951 South Line Street in Columbia City.
The shelter is open Monday and Friday from 12-5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 2-7 p.m. and on Saturday 12-4 p.m. The shelter is closed on Wednesday and Sunday each week.

Were homes ever found for these little guys? If not, how many are left and do you have current pictures of them?
