Hurricane Displaced Dogs In Kalamazoo For Adoption

The SPCA of Southwest Michigan took in 8 dogs displaced from Marlboro County, South Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. WWMT says these dogs were actually supposed to be in West Michigan about a week earlier, but were not able to make it because a bridge on the route was closed due to flooding. All 8 will need to undergo observation, both medically and behavioral, before becoming available for adoption.
