An opossum that was rescued from a hoarding situation in Dayton has been released back into the wilderness.
As previously reported by News Center 7, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton removed 31 cats, one dog, and one opossum from a home in the 1000 block of Old Orchard Avenue on Jan. 16.
“It was probably one of the worst environmental situations we have found animals in, and many of the animals didn’t survive. So the ones that did are now in our care and are being cared for properly,” Humane Society of Greater Dayton CEO Brian Weltge said.
