The Panhandle Humane Society has rescued 12 border collies and is seeking some extra help.
The Scottsbluff group is asking for donations of cash, dog food and cleaning supplies.
Five puppies and seven adult dogs were surrendered on Monday by their owner, who was cooperating with authorities because he couldn't take care of so many at his rural residence in Box Butte County.
Humane Society assistant director Heidi Anderson says the dogs are being inspected for diseases before being offered for adoption.
