"As many of you know, we are a small shelter and this seizure now puts us at almost double our max capacity," the shelter said on its Facebook page.
According to the post, many of the dogs have major or minor medical issues "and injuries sustained by inappropriate housing."
The shelter is asking for blankets, potty pads, HE laundry detergent, paper towels and monetary donations.
It is also asking for locals to adopt other animals in the shelter to open space for the animals seized on Friday.
The animals which were seized on Friday are currently not up for adoption.
