GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The Wisconsin Humane Society's Green Bay campus has taken in a record number of animals and is in need of help.

The animal shelter says it took in 160 animals Thursday, including 52 ball python snakes and 108 rats and mice, from a large-scale law enforcement seizure. With such a large influx of animals with unique needs, WHS says its resources are strained.

The organization is currently asking for the public’s help in two ways:

1) Donate an item from the WHS Amazon Wish List for Exotic Animals: https://amzn.to/3osMXGL

2) Make a monetary donation that will go toward emergency medical care and other supply needs: https://bit.ly/2KS8HxZ

None of these animals are available for adoption at this time due to the ongoing investigation, WHS says. The law enforcement seizure was due to an ordinance violation. Animals are being transported to the Racine, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Door County, and Green Bay campuses, according to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
