ARL rescues over 100 dogs from a Boone County puppy mill

(Des Moines, Iowa) – Officials with the Animal Rescue League report that just months after they helped rescue more than 100 dogs from a puppy mill in Boone County, the ARL team was back on the same property Friday, working with authorities to free 46 MORE dogs and puppies from the cycle of commercial breeding. The ARL says the breeder surrendered their license and has officially shut down. Most of the dogs rescued will need medical, dental and behavioral care. Emergency overflow housing to care for the animals temporarily has been established.
Most of the animals are “undersocialized,” according to the organization, and will need behavioral help to learn to trust humans. Some are still nursing and will need weeks of care as they grow. All will need spay and neuter surgeries to ensure their breeding days are behind them.
