CORVALLIS -- Attorney’s for a woman accused of abusing and neglecting dozens of dogs want more time to prepare the case -- as new puppies continue to arrive.

Benton County deputies seized 86 dogs from Carol Brower’s North Albany home in April.

Heartland Humane Society helped find foster homes for many of the pets, but said Thursday that five of the dogs have since given birth and three more litters of puppies are due in the next two weeks.

The new pups will be kept with their mothers until they are eight weeks old.

"We are a fairly small organization and this is always our busiest time of year," Kerry Mullin, Executive Director said. "Now layer an extra 100 neglected dogs on top of that, and you can imagine that our resources are stretched." "On the other hand, I am so proud of our team who have managed to provide the best care possible to each and every animal."

Brower faces more than 80 counts of animal neglect and more than 10 counts of animal abuse.

The Heartland Humane Society helped groom and care for the dogs and also brought in an animal behavioral specialist.

"Our foster parents are dealing with a variety of behavioral issues as a result of the dogs previous neglectful living situation. Professional help is necessary to try and get these dogs back on track," says Mullin.
