One of the results of a recent large-scale animal neglect rescue case in western Montana is an adorable family of puppies ALMOST ready for adoption.

MEET BERNIE AND HIS SIBLINGS

It was another Take Me Home Tuesday at the radio stations with the Humane Society of Western Montana. Katie introduced us to Bernie, one of five 8-week-old miniature schnauzers who will be available for adoption this weekend (more on that in a moment). And, the pups' young mama Blanche (pictured below) is also at the shelter and is waiting for her forever home right now.
