Humane Society saves dogs at northern Ohio shelter

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Frankie had no idea how close he came to the needle last week.

The black lab mix was one of three dogs on death row, who were given a second chance by the Wood County Humane Society.

Approximately once a month, staff from the humane society visits the Wood County Dog Shelter to see if they can save some canines. They time their visits on Thursday mornings — hours before the weekly euthanasias at the shelter.

So far, all that have been rescued have been adopted out to new homes.
