Rescued puppies have new homes

All seven puppies found abandoned in a Walmart bag at the Matlock logging gate Oct. 17 have been adopted.

"All of them found great homes," The Humane Society of Mason County Executive Director Katherine Johnson told the Journal.

The puppies were less than 2 days old when they were found and taken to HSMC for around-the-clock care.

The puppies were spayed and neutered before going to new homes Dec. 13, Johnson said.

One of the puppies, Pickles, was the 3000th spay and neuter surgery the group's clinic has performed this year, according to Johnson.
