More than a week after three dogs were rescued from deplorable conditions, they're officially in custody of city of Balcones Heights.
A judge on Wednesday ruled that the dogs’ owner cruelly abandoned them, which allowed the city of Balcones Heights to take ownership of them.
Lauren Trevino, prosecutor for the city, said she hopes pet owners know there are better options out there than just abandoning animals. ”If someone is in a position where they cannot do that right now, just knowing that there are, you know, animal shelters or other people out there who are willing to take in animals such as in this case. And so that is an option if someone is not able to do so right now,” Trevino said.Their previous owner will have a chance to appeal but could also face criminal charges in a higher court.Leigh Waldman is a news reporter at KSAT 12.
