DEARBORN, Mich. - Adoptions have begun of some of the more than 100 dogs that were found last month along with about 150 dead dogs in a Michigan house that was littered with feces and trash.

Six Chihuahuas and their new owners were at an event Thursday at the Dearborn Animal Shelter, where the dogs have been staying since they were removed from the home in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn starting July 22.

Some of the other Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes are in foster care and could be adopted soon.

A lawyer for 56-year-old Kenneth Lang Jr., who was living in the house, has said it was love, not abuse, that prompted Lang to hoard the dogs. A criminal investigation could result in charges in the case.
