Dogs that survived Wisconsin plane crash now available for adoption (FYI)
More than four dozen dogs who survived a flight that crash-landed on its way from New Orleans to Wisconsin on Tuesday morning outside Milwaukee are now up for adoption.
Background story:
In a press conference on Tuesday, Lake Country Fire and Rescue's assistant chief Matthew Haerter said that the Fire and Rescue team, along with the Waukesha county sheriffs, responded to a report of a twin-engine plane that crashed into the third hole on the Western Lakes Golf Course.
Haerter described the landing as "catastrophic," adding that the plane crashed through trees severing their wings.
On board were 53 dogs from the Humane Animal Welfare Society and three passengers who sustained minor injuries, according to Haerter.
At the same press conference, Maggie Tate-Techtmann, a director of the Humane Animal Welfare Society, said their medical team was on the ground treating the dogs, and they would be up for adoption as soon as they were ready.
About 20 of the dogs, who the organization called the "Western Lakes Loves, " were taken to the welfare society, while the rest were sent to shelters in the area.
Jennifer Smieja, a spokesperson for the Humane Animal Welfare Society, told BuzzFeed News that "the dogs are all doing remarkably well."
"Physically, they only sustained some scrapes, but we are unsure of how they will do going forward behaviorally," Smieja told Buzzfeed.
