Three weeks to the day after responding to Iowa’s largest-ever animal hoarding case, the Animal Rescue League of Iowa removed more than a dozen dogs from a property in western Iowa’s Audubon County on Tuesday. Tom Colvin, the league’s C-E-O, says the neglected dogs were all being kept together outside in a muddy, tarp-covered, chain-link dog run in Exira.
The shy dogs had not been well-socialized, some appeared to have never been walked on a leash before and some had never even been named. Colvin says it was heart-breaking to see the animals in that condition.
No information is being released about the owner of the dogs.
Three weeks ago, the A-R-L began the process of rescuing and recovering what ended up being 380 cats, living and dead, from a property in Madrid.
