Bay County, Fla:

Eighty-two dogs were seized from a Calhoun County home last week and today Bay County Animal Control receives the go ahead to start adopting out the chihuahuas.

People were lined outside with their lawn chairs and umbrellas as early as 7:30 this morning. Animal control doesn’t open until 10 a.m and they had to issue numbers to people to make sure everyone got the chance to see the puppies.

Animal control allowed new owners to take home the male dogs so long they put down a $100 deposit. They have the next 30 days to get the dogs neutered. Once they do, they can return to animal control and receive back their deposit. However, female dogs have to stay at the facility until they get spayed.

Bay County Animal Control Director, Jim Crosby, says he’s happy they’re able to adopt out the chihuahuas but he doesn’t want people to forget about the other animals at the facility. He also tells News 13 that they’ve been taking pre applications all week, close to 250 of them. Even if a person doesn’t find a chihuahua or dog they want this weekend, that application is valid for the next three months.

Beth Hall, the 59-year-old woman who the dogs were taken from, is charged with felony animal cruelty and 105 misdemeanor charges of animal neglect.
