The dogs are on the road to recovery and headed to the East Coast.
Jourdanton police continue to investigate an animal cruelty case that lead to the rescue of at least 10 dogs. The dogs were found malnourished and infested with fleas in a property surrounded with trash in early November– The Jourdanton Police Department and the Atascosa County Animal Control Authority saved 10 dogs on Nov. 4.
The animals were rescued from a property that was surrounded by debris, including home appliances, suitcases, trash bins, and strollers. Ten days later, authorities continue to make progress in the case being investigated as animal cruelty. “We have a person of interest that we’re tracking down who we believe may have been occasionally feeding dogs over there and or bringing dogs over there,” said Jourdanton police Chief Eric Kaiser. “He does not have a permanent address. So, we’ve had a little trouble finding him.”“The homeowner has been incarcerated for a lengthy period of time,” Kaiser said. “It would be difficult to hold them responsible for what’s happening at that property if they’re not actually there.
“We expect by this weekend to have a a roll-off dumpster over there so we can start removing all the debris that covers the property,” Kaiser said. “We have to see how much we can fit in those big dumpsters, and depending on how quickly we can get them, will determine how quickly we can get everything cleaned off the property. It’s an eyesore and a health issue for neighbors in that area.”
