NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Dozens of dogs seized last week from a Hickman County farm will be up for adoption on Saturday in Nashville.

However, people who are interested in adopting one of the animals should be aware of a few things.

Because of some of the tough times these pet have endured, adjusting to a new home could be difficult.

"They may not ever be 100 percent house broken they may not walk easily on the leash they may not ever trust anyone other than the person that's adopted them," said Mary Pat Boatfield, of the Nashville Humane Association.

Thirty five dogs rescued from the suspected puppy mill in Hickman County will go up for adoption at the Nashville Humane Society.

Staffers are expecting a huge crowd, with more people wanting dogs than are actually available.

"We're going to use a ticket system. Everybody that comes in will fill an application out, and one half of the ticket will be put in the container, and then the other half will be stapled to the application. We'll draw the numbers out because the rooms can't hold 200 to 300 people," said Boatfield.

Because of the special attention these dogs require, there is going to be an intense screening process.

Though the animals may come with health problems, the psychological baggage is much worse.

The adopter should be ready to spend a year or two helping your new dog adjust to a normal life.

The new owners will also have to sign a legal document because these dogs are evidence in an animal cruelty case.

"Some of the animals could possibly be recalled for evidence in the trial, so there is a document they have to sign," said Boatfield.

After the adoption occurs, the Humane Association will call and check in three days, three weeks and three months after adoption.

If there are any problems with the dog, they will provide the adopter with the appropriate resources to help the pet.

Adoptions start at 10 a.m. on a first come, first serve basis. The Nashville Humane Association is located at 213 Oceola Ave. They can be contacted at 615-352-1010.
