Authorities say animal neglect charges are now filed against 63-year-old Dennis Goodrich of Webster City. Police and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa recovered nine dogs from Goodrich’s home last week. Robyn Dobernecker is the animal welfare intervention coordinator for the A-R-L and helped with the rescue.
She says there were four adult dogs and five puppies living in a filthy, cramped wire kennel.
The dogs are being treated at a vet clinic. Goodrich is scheduled for a pretrial conference on the charges next week.
