Sorry for the bummer of a thread here, but I am a big softie for dogs and wanted to get the word out about this travesty in Cyclone country.
Have you seen these dogs before? They are offering a reward.
NEVADA, IOWA -- Story County Animal Control Director Sue McCaskey is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest in an incident regarding two abused Boxer dogs that were found Monday in southern Story County.
The dogs were found near wire cages north of Maxwell in a ditch a gravel road off of 305th Street after Animal Control responded to a report from a resident who lives near to where the dogs were found. An initial assessment shows that there are tire tracks and beverage containers in the immediate vicinity of the dogs.
