San Antonio Animal Control Services said the owners of the dogs have 30 days to comply with restrictions for 'dangerous dogs'.
Animal Care Services has euthanized four of eight dogs recently seized after they bit a woman as she walked in a Southwest Side neighborhood earlier this month. Two other dogs remain in an ACS shelter as their owners go through the 'dangerous dog' compliance process. The status of the remaining two dogs is unclear.
Animal Care Services still unable to respond to thousands of critical calls ACS Interim Director Mike Shannon said the couple who owns the dogs was issued 32 citations. The offenses cited were for allowing the dogs to roam unrestrained, not having a rabies vaccination, and failure to prevent bites. Shannon said three years ago, the couple had a separate ACS investigation after another one of their dogs bit a person and suffered minor injuries.

While the department is making progress, officials there say they won’t be able to respond to 100% of the serious incident calls until 2026. The city of San Antonio pumped millions of dollars into ACS last year after a string of gruesome dog attacks — including two that were fatal.
