O’Brien County, Iowa — The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office called on a Sioux City animal shelter for assistance earlier this month with a large scale dog rescue at an O’Brien County acreage.
According to the O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office, they called on Noah’s Hope Animal Rescue, as well as local volunteers, for help after an O’Brien County resident passed away, leaving nobody to care for the animals.
Authorities say there were a total of 39 dogs on the acreage. Nine of the thirty-nine dogs were put down by law enforcement after consultation with a local veterinarian, due to the poor condition of the animals. According to authorities, seven more dogs
were already dead upon the arrival of the Sheriff’s Office and Noah’s Hope.
Volunteers from Noah’s Hope were able to humanely catch the 23 remaining dogs, several of which were puppies, and bring them to their rescue shelter.
The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office says they want to recognize the outstanding service Noah’s Hope and their volunteers provided. They say the assistance provided by Noah’s Hope is greatly appreciated.
Noah’s Hope Animal Rescue is based out of Sioux City, Iowa and provides a no-time limit rescue shelter for animals for as long as it takes to find suitable homes. They are not federally or municipally funded and are supported through donations and adoptions.
