1. After almost 80 Pomeranians were rescued from a hoarding situation in Mount Pleasant, the Humane Society Of West Michigan says the pups they took in are doing great.
Right now, three of the eight adult Pomeranians at the Humane Society are up for adoption. The others have already been adopted.
They also took in four puppies, which were born in the care of the Humane Society.
They are not available for adoption just yet. But when they are, adopters will be able to see their profile and application online.
