16 dogs arrive safe and sound at Venango Humane Society

From staff reports

Sixteen dogs arrived safe and sound Saturday at the Venango County Humane Society after an hours-long trip from rural Tennessee.

They will now undergo observation and veterinarian evaluation before they begin the process to find their forever homes, a process VCHS staff and volunteers are optimistic won’t take long as the demand for furry friends in the area continues to grow.

Lead dog kennel attendant Katie Parsh said in an earlier interview that the more time people spend at home due to coronavirus mitigation efforts, the more adoption rates soar at shelters like VCHS.

“We had more adoptions in the three months of shut down than we had all last year,” said shelter manager Dan Prichard on Saturday.
