Adoption scheduled for pets seized from shop
Seventy-five animals seized from a Santa Ana pet shop last month will be available for adoption Saturday, officials announced.
Fifty puppies, six kittens, 18 rabbits and a guinea pig were taken from Village Pets near South Coast Plaza after authorities found them in 101-degree temperatures with unclean water. The shop’s owner, cited for operating the shop in substandard conditions, blamed the problems on a misunderstanding.
The adoption is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon at Orange County Animal Care Services, 561 City Drive South, Orange.
