MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) is offering emergency adoption specials now through Sept. 21 in an effort to make space for 34 animals being pulled from a single home. 

The shelter-which is already over capacity- says they're currently taking in 20 dogs, 10 cats, two ferrets, and two turtles that were found in "deplorable conditions," emaciated, and without food and water. 

In response, they're waiving adoption fees for all "ready-to-go" dogs and cats, and the fee for kittens 3 months old and younger who are ready to go has been reduced to $25, now through Sunday, Sept. 21. 

“This is an urgent situation,” said Kate Hartlund, community engagement coordinator. “We cannot take in this many animals on top of an already overcrowded shelter without the community stepping up to adopt. Every adoption makes immediate room for another animal in desperate need.”

MADACC is also encouraging anyone missing a pet to check the shelter and reclaim them as soon as possible.
