All adoption fees are waived at all Michigan Humane Society locations as the organization works to accommodate 35 dogs brought in through a Detroit investigation, the humane society announced Saturday on social media.

"The Michigan Humane Society cruelty investigation team, working alongside the Detroit police department, took in 35 dogs yesterday as part of an ongoing dog-fighting investigation," the nonprofit posted on Facebook. "To help ease the strain on our shelter teams as we begin to care for these dogs, we need to move as many of our adoptable animals into forever homes as soon as possible."

The fees are being covered by the organization's board of directors. Pets available for adoption are listed on the humane society's website. The Detroit location had only cats available on Saturday, according to the Facebook post.

Detroit police on Friday executed search warrants on the 14000 block of Edmore and other locations with humane society investigators present, a Detroit Police Department spokesperson confirmed. One man was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of weapons, according to police. More details weren't immediately available.
