It’s puppy palooza at the Humane Society of Carroll County after getting a truck-full of pets last week from down south. Eleven pit mix puppies who just 5 weeks old, along mom Ruby, are being fostered by shelter employee Amanda Tyler. “Making sure that they are healthy and happy and I’m giving them a lot of food,” Tyler said.Ruby and her pups, along with six other mix breed dogs and three cats were brought to Westminster from Mississippi and Alabama because of Hurricane Sally. The humane society is helping shelters there make room for pets separated from their families in the disaster.“So, these are animals that have been in the shelter, also lost for unknown reasons and otherwise would’ve been euthanized,” said director of animal care Michelle Fidler. “There’s some that are going to have extensive medical treatments. We have a few that came up to us as heartworn positive, so they’ll be in foster homes for quite a while.”“All of the puppies will need to be spayed and neutered. They need their core vaccines. So, it adds up very quickly,” said executive director Karen Baker.The humane society runs entirely on donations. They say any help with medical expenses would be appreciated.“We have a medical fund you can do that by going to hscarroll.org and click on donate,” Baker said.It may be a few weeks before the animals are ready for adoption to make sure they’re healthy enough to go out to families. But some of them may be ready as early as next week.
