ARGYLE, Iowa (AP) — The Animal Rescue League of Iowa says it has removed hundreds of animals from the same rural Lee County property where it rescued 42 dogs in February. The organization said in a news release that it helped remove 225 dogs, barn animals, reptiles and small animals from the home last week. It says the animals were living in “horrendous” conditions. In February, the organization removed 42 dogs and puppies and 41 hamsters from the same property. The Des Moines Register reports a man and woman from the Argyle area were charged with seven counts of animal neglect on March 7, before the latest rescue.
