When the SPCA stepped in to rescue the animals in February, some of the 46 neglected dogs were pregnant. Five of the puppies born were put up for adoption at the Kelowna shelter.

By 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday there was a line-up of 20 people at the Kelowna shelter interested in taking home one of the puppies.

“They were well aware of the story,” Kelowna SPCA branch manager Sean Hogan said. “They were connected to the messaging that this would be a new beginning.”
