Whether you decide to give a one-time gift or give monthly, your support will help these dogs and puppies get the medical care they need and put them on the path to a better life – the life they’ve always deserved. With this urgent rescue, on top of the hundreds of other animals we’ve taken in recently, we need your help now more than ever. Many of the dogs and puppies are also underweight and suffering from ear and eye infections, diarrhea, and upper respiratory infections. Adopt Foster Donate Rescue an Animal Today We are a foster-based animal rescue with foster homes located in Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin. The puppies – some of them barely weaned - all appear to be infested with parasites, and many of the curly-haired dogs are suffering from severe, painful matting with feces caked into the mats. Our veterinarians quickly moved her to our Miracle Medical Ward for urgent care. One poor husky is missing part of one of her back legs, and the injury is so severe that the bone is exposed. Once back at the shelter, our Miracle Medical Team took over. Our team rushed the dogs back to ARL veterinarians for urgent medical care. A veterinarian evaluated the dogs medically at the scene and determined all of them needed to be removed immediately. Some of the puppies were in wire cages inside a camper with no heat.
When we arrived on the property with law enforcement, we found dozens of dogs and puppies, owned by a breeder, living outside in makeshift, overcrowded pens with little protection from the elements.
Knowing the dogs may be in danger, our team immediately hit the road for the 1.5-hour drive to the suspected property and contacted county deputies on the way. Our Animal Welfare Intervention Coordinator received a call from authorities in Florida, who were working on an animal neglect case where dogs had gone missing and were thought to be in Iowa. Emergency Preparedness and Disaster ResponseĦ5 more dogs and puppies are now in our care after the ARL team assisted authorities in rescuing them from a property near Hedrick, IA, in Keokuk County - the third time in two months that our team has been called on to conduct a large-scale rescue where animals were in urgent need of care.
