Nearly one year after they were first brought to the shelter, more than a dozen dogs caught in the middle of an animal cruelty case are ready to be adopted.

Last June, a Wrentham woman was charged with 23 counts of animal cruelty for what prosecutors described as a commercial breeding operation. Those dogs, a mix of German shepherds and Huskies, were found in varying conditions and were sent to a few area shelters. Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton took on more than half of them.

"It's really hard knowing that for so long they lived in squaller," said Lily Bolton of Baypath. "They were not adoptable because they legally belonged to somebody even though that person clearly wasn't taking care of them with any regard."
