Animals seized from filthy Clay County adopted by new families

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – Clay County Animal Services says puppies who were pulled from a property on Old Jennings Road in October could soon be ready for adoption.

The shelter posted on Facebook that the first group of puppies should be ready for adoption in six to eight weeks. An interest form must be filled out to be placed on the waiting list.

It’s first-come first-served. The shelter will contact interested people when the animals become available for adoption.

Any questions should be directed to ClayAdoptions@claycountygov.com.

On the day of the seizure in October, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook called conditions at the home “deplorable.” Investigators found the property was filled with feces, and crews wore protective suits when entering the property to remove the animals.

Some of the dogs that were seized were pregnant at the time and have since given birth.

Over the weekend, an adoption event was held where many of the animals were given new homes.

April Auriene adopted one of the dogs.

“They’ve been through a lot,” Auriene said. “So for them to have a good home. A good family and nourishment. Everything they need it’s going to be great.”
