Good news, some of the puppies rescued from a sealed plastic bin on a Fort Worth highway have been adopted.

A man rescued the litter of eight puppies not long after they were abandoned and took them to The Humane Society of North Texas.

The Humane Society of North Texas said a few of the puppies had been cleared by a veterinarian and were ready to find their forever home.

There has been so much interest in the "highway puppies" that the Humane Society of North Texas took to Facebook to tell everyone they will be available during a Puppy Palooza adoption event at the Montgomery Plaza PetSmart from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 29.

All 5 male puppies were adopted on Friday.

The remaining 3 female puppies are still being treated and could be ready for adoption by next week.

Volunteers say the puppies may be shepherd-lab mixes and will be featured during the one-day adoption event.
