Last night, 12 cocker spaniels at the Cedar Valley Humane Society went home with new owners.
The dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in Sac County earlier this year.
Over the last few weeks, the dogs were cleaned up, nourished and given vet care and finally, last night were adopted by local families.
Several dozen people were given up to 12 tickets and had to fill out a ticket for each dog they might be interested in.
Three names were then picked out of a jar for each dog, and the first name called had the first shot of taking home that particular cocker spaniel.
Bob Citrullo, the executive director of the Cedar Valley Human Society said he was touched at the amount of support he saw, in the cases of these dogs.
Volunteers have worked with the dogs and provided care in terms of medical needs and socialization skills.
The shelter still has three more dogs that might be able to be adopted at a later date.
