The 42 starving Shiba Inu that were discovered and rescued from a former commercial breeder in the Ava area are now officially in the custody of the Humane Society of Missouri and are being prepared for adoption after a full recovery by the same organization.
This original story took place on October 18th, where the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office located the previously mentioned 42 starving Shiba Inu, as well as 9 additional deceased dogs, and one additional Shiba Inu that passed away shortly after.
The announcement of the official custody status change of the dogs comes, ironically, during National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, which is recognized during the first full week of November.
