Animal House Shelter staff said the dogs are strays found in Arkansas and Tennessee. They were expected to get to the shelter, located at 13005 Ernesti Road, around 6 p.m.
There are 19 pups altogether, 18 of whom should be available for adoption in two weeks. They still need to get their shots and get checked out by a veterinarian.
The last puppy, a chocolate lab, has two broken paws and will undergo surgery as soon as possible, shelter staff said.
Animal House needs help giving these puppies a place to stay as they wait to find forever homes. If you are interested in fostering, fill out an application at www.animalhouseshelter.com/foster.
The shelter is looking to build out its facility to help more animals each year. To find out more about how you can help, call 847-961-5541 or visit www.animalhouseshelter.com.
