MONROE - Green County Humane Society is continuing to seek donations to help care for the 46 dogs seized by authorities on May 26.

The dogs, mostly Great Danes, were taken from a residence in the north 4600 block of County F, in the Town of Decatur, officials said, citing unhealthy living conditions.

Charged with misdemeanor mistreatment of animals are: Allyson Williams, 24; Melissa Harrel, 57; Kathy Williams, 54; and Donavan Williams, 45. The suspects were booked and released Wednesday, and given a court date of June 21.

Donations are currently being accepted for food, staffing and veterinary costs.

GCHS, however, declined to provide additional information on the dogs, citing ongoing legal action related to the case.

"We hope you'll understand that it's important to follow due process in these circumstances," Rachel Schardt, a GCHS spokesperson, said. "We appreciate your patience and will provide more information as we can."

According to a Channel3000.com report, 15 of the Great Danes are being housed in Dane County.

GCHS officials said they do not know if the dogs will be available for adoption, but applications are being taken. Forms can be found on the GCHS website.

Monitory donations can be given online as well, or by sending them to: GCHS Great Dane Fund, P.O. Box 54, Monroe, 53566.
