The Gloucester County Animal Shelter says eight dogs displaced from a shelter in South Carolina are now ready for adoption. The dogs arrived Saturday night.

"We were in the fortunate position of having shelter room for dogs and we have a list of people who are looking to adopt," said Freeholder Director Robert Damminger. "These dogs will find happy homes in Gloucester County."
