20 malnourished dogs rescued from Muscatine home; animal neglect investigation ongoing.

Twenty malnourished dogs were rescued from a Muscatine home after an anonymous tip prompted a police search warrant. Found in poor conditions, they were taken to the Muscatine Humane Society for care. The shelter is temporarily closed to assist the animals and plans to reopen Saturday. The city emphasizes zero tolerance for animal neglect, urging the public to report suspected abuse. Ownership of the dogs will be decided in a future court hearing, with no charges filed yet.
