16 dogs adopted after being hoarded

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - After 20 small-breed dogs were surrendered to Huntsville Animal Services, 16 have been adopted to loving homes.

The 20 dogs were brought into Huntsville Animal Services this week after the owner says they became "too much" for them, leaving the dogs up for adoption in the shelter.

After being checked out by local veterinarians, the dogs were soon available for adoption. As of Friday, four of the dogs remain up for adoption.
