On Thursday June 29 at approximately 12:00 PM, the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office executed several search warrants regarding an animal welfare investigation in the Town of Wilson.

During the course of the investigation, at least 36 dogs were seized and removed from the home.

The dogs were removed with the assistance of the Sheboygan County Humane Society. SCHS and Wisconsin Humane Society are collaborating in the care of the dogs.

The Sheboygan County Humane Society says all of the dogs appear to be Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Donations of wood and pine shavings are needed the most. Monetary donations can be made here.

The dogs cannot be put up for adoption yet since they are not yet the "property" of the humane society since they are seized.
