The rescued dogs from a hoarding situation in Spokane Valley are now up for adoption. Last Thursday, fourteen small dogs were found living in a passenger van parked at the Spokane Valley Branch of the county library district.

SCRAPS estimated that the dogs would be up for adoption on Wednesday, but after hard work from volunteers to clean up the dogs, they were set up for adoption at Noon on Monday.

After an hour of open adoption, SCRAPS reported that five of the 14 dogs had been adopted.

Thirteen of the dogs were Pekingeses. One of them was a Brussels Griffon.

Lower than normal attendance at the Spokane Interstate Fair has meant less adoptions than the Spokane Humane Society had hoped, but Jenna Bell, volunteer coordinator, says it's better than nothing.

"We've definitely done more in the past." Bell said. So far they've had 25 animals adopted. She continued, "It's nice that these animals are getting homes.

Two dogs were adopted. As for the cats, it's been mostly kittens, but a couple of adult cats were adopted.

Bell added that one of the Red Cross booth gals adopted a four month old kitten named Venus.

The Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, or SCRAPS, is so overwhelmed with cats and dogs, they need your help. The animal shelter received 23 animals Tuesday, many of them had ran away from their homes because of the Fourth of July fireworks. Some had to be transferred to a rescue facility on the west side of the state to make room in the Scraps facility. Scraps is offering a special on adult cats all week thru Saturday. Licenses are 15 dollars.
