(Whittemore)– Authorities in Kossuth county say they rescued a number of animals that were allegedly being neglected at a residence in Whittemore.
The Sheriff’s Office says eight dogs and 10 chickens were removed earlier this month from 407 Clay Street after getting a complaint of possible animal abuse. The dogs were taken to a Humboldt vet clinic for evaluation and treatment. They were then transferred to Peace Creek Animal Rescue in Humboldt for adoption. The chickens were taken to Betsy’s Barn in Cylinder.
Kossuth county authorities say rumors of human bodies being found in the residence are not true and that there is no present safety threat to the public.
