36 Dogs From the Kinship Kennel Up for Adoption

After one year and nine months in the care of the Humane Society of Sheboygan County (HSSC) and the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS), 36 Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain Dogs are getting the chance to be officially adopted. In June of 2017, the 36 dogs were seized from Kinship Companions, a kennel in Sheboygan County, after complaints of animal mistreatment and abuse. The case received national attention after law enforcement shared that dozens of deceased dogs were found decaying in broken freezers on the property. Because the dogs were considered former owner Christy Tuchel’s property throughout the legal process, the humane societies were not the legal owners and could not adopt them out. Tuchel has now surrendered the K9s and they are now available for adoption.
