(Des Moines, IA) -- The Animal Rescue League of Iowa is caring for 15-animals, taken from a small mobile home in southwest Des Moines. The A-R-L says eight cats, six rabbits, and a dog were in a trailer, filled with trash, feces, and the strong odor of urine. The ARL says the trailer had been soaked with urine for so long that the flooring had started to warp.
The animals are now getting veterinary care. The dog is in the worst condition, suffering from red, inflamed skin and patchy fur across her body, as well as concerning masses on her abdomen and foot. The cats are infested with fleas and ear mites and some are quite thin.
