Houston, Texas – Custody for 26 cats and dogs rescued from deplorable conditions at a residence in South Houston, on January 5, has been awarded to the Houston SPCA. The animal welfare agency had removed 11 emaciated dogs, seven cats, and eight puppies from “horrific” conditions.
In a news release, Houston SPCA described the appalling conditions the animals had been living in, writing:
Officials at the scene said in addition to the emaciated animals suffering from no food or water, some were urine-soaked, tethered by chains or tied to dirty wire crates, and suffering from varying medical issues.
Six cats and one dog were found inside the small shed. Another six dogs were chained to various items on the property while eight more were inside the garage. Four additional dogs and one cat were in the home in deplorable living conditions.
The owner was served with an exigent warrant that allowed the Houston SPCA to immediately rescue the animals and bring them into their care.
The owner, who has not been publicly identified, faces two years in prison and a $10,000 fine for animal cruelty.
Animal Victory is grateful to see these animals removed from their owner and the inhumane conditions they were forced to exist in.

Thank you for the work you do.
Thank you for helping these poor animals.
what is it with southern states. they seem to have the most deplorable animal abuse cases. thank god they are now safe and i hope they can all be saved and free from serious medical issues. some people hoard animals like they are prizes. then rather than say i can’t do it and get help they would rather sit and watch them slowly perish. it truly is a serios disease.

Poor sweet innocent babies; some people are so sick and evil and ignorant that they should never be allowed to have any dependents, to put it mildly.
The owner deserves longer than a 2-year prison sentence. A $10,000 fine is not enough of a fine for the abuse they subjected these animals to. Ensure that they will be banned from ever owning any animals ever again, not even a goldfish.
Praying for their wellbeing and that they all find good homes.
My God, who would ever treat animals this way? Glad that they are safe 🙏🙏 and hope and pray that all dogs, puppies and cats, are fostered into a great beautiful loving ❤️ and sweet ❤️ home 🏠 and forever 💕 home 🏡 and loving family 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all of the work ☺️ hard work that you guys all do 🙂. Keep up the good work.. keep the fur babies safe always and forever ♾️❤️♾️🙂♾️
Thank God these poor precious animals are rescued in time! The evil people who made them suffer deserve a life time jail!!
