SAD PHOTOS: 50 urine-soaked animals, including newborn puppy, rescued from Houston area home

Houston SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigation team and Harris County Constables Precinct 1 rescued 50 emaciated and urine and feces-matted dogs, including a newborn puppy, from a property near E. 25th Street near Loop 610.

The animals were living in deplorable conditions as the home was filled with debris and a heavy smell of ammonia, officials said.

The emergency warrant from Harris County Constable Precinct 1 allowed the Houston SPCA to get onto the property to rescue the animals where they are now in the care of the rescue and protection organization’s veterinary staff for individualized treatment including cruelty exams, vaccinations, de-matting, a nutrition plan and more. A hearing will be scheduled for this case sometime next week.
