ST. LOUIS – More than a dozen dogs of varying breeds are arriving at the Humane Society of Missouri’s headquarters in St. Louis for evaluations and veterinary treatment after being rescued from what volunteers describe as “deplorable conditions.”

This is the second animal rescue in Polk County in as many weeks.

The HSMO is accepting donations to help care for abused and neglected animals.

Concerned citizens can report animals that may be in danger or suffering from abuse and neglect to the HSMO’s Animal Cruelty Hotline at 314-647-4400.
