The owner of the kennel, 72 year-old Sharon Roberts, agreed to surrender the animals and has not been charged.

The Humane Society of Parkersburg still doesn't know how much of a toll this case has taken on their bank account, but it has already seriously depleted their medical and food supplies.

As of Wednesday, the shelter still had 100 animals needed to be taken care of and in need of homes.

The population of animals in the care of the Parkersburg Humane Society went from one hundred to over a thousand in a matter of hours. Now, the group finds itself dealing with more than its equipped to handle alone.

Volunteers have been working to take donations and clean cages, just to name some of their duties.

The shelter operates about $50,000 over budget every year even with a skeleton crew and low wages. The longterm effects of this incident are yet to be determined.

Donations have been coming in from individuals and businesses. Animal rescue organizations from across the country have stepped up to help with the emergency shelter and the effort to transport the animals to other states for adoption. They are also helping with rehabilitation to make the dogs more adoptable.

There is still no exact timeline for how long the animals will need to be cared for at the warehouse.

In response to the horrible conditions at this puppy mill, the Moundsville County Animal Shelter is accepting donations of towels, rolled newspapers and money. Any donations should be made out to the Humane Society of Parkersburg. Donations will be accepted now through Tuesday. You can contact the Moundsville shelter by calling (304)845-9770.
