Family adopts four dogs
After their owners were killed in an accident over the Labor day weekend, the Chicago Canine Club took the four Kelm dogs in while a new home was found. Now, it looks like they may be in their new home. A note on the Chicago Canine Club website says ADOPTION PENDING!
A Burr Ridge animal training center may have found the right people to adopt four dogs that belonged to a couple killed in a motorcycle crash over Labor Day weekend.
Last Thursday, a family took in the four dogs that belonged to Susan and Mike Kelms, whose wishes were to keep the dogs together, said Kathy Deets, manager of the Chicago Canine Club. The adoptive family has had three dogs over the years -- but never more than one at a time, Deets said.
"The family has not made a final decision yet, but things are going well," Deets said in an e-mail today.
One stumbling block in finding a family for the dogs has been that many villages in the area have a legal limit of three. But the shelter worked hard to keep the four united.
