Update: Sunday the Garrard County Animal Shelter announced on it's Facebook page, that all of the animals that they had before the mass intake have been placed.
The shelter was hoping to have all of the animals placed in homes before its planned euthanasia on Monday. Now, the shelter says they will not have to euthanize any animals.

Dogs at the Garrard County Animal Shelter are facing euthanasia on Monday due to a recent "mass intake," according to a post from the shelter on Facebook.
According to the post, the "mass intake" was due to the arrest of a man on Friday in an animal cruelty investigation that resulted in a large number of dogs being taken in.

The shelter says that dogs available for adoption are featured on its Facebook page in an album titled "available dogs."
Anyone interested in adopting is asked to contact the shelter by messaging them on Facebook to set up a meet-and-greet since the shelter is currently closed to the public. The shelter asks that you allow 24 hours for a response as they are "extremely busy" caring for the animals they have taken in.
The post concludes by saying, "We have set a euthanasia date for Monday. This is NOT what we want to do, but we have no choice!"
