In a Facebook post, officials said they were called to assist with a situation involving dozens of dogs at a commercial breeder located in Washington County. The ARL located 49 dogs who were living in conditions poor enough that a state-certified veterinarian determined they needed to be removed for their own safety.
17 dead dogs, with most reportedly being puppies, were found around the property, as well.
ARL officials are asking for donations to help with future rescue operations. Donations can be made on the ARL’s website or through @ARL-Iowa on Venmo.
