More than two dozen innocent animals are receiving the care they so desperately need after being rescued from a filthy, insect-ridden home in south Houston.
Houston SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigations team and Harris County Constable Precinct 1 conducted an emergency rescue on Jan. 5 for 11 emaciated dogs, seven cats and eight puppies, all living in horrific conditions in various parts of a property near Alameda Genoa and Fuqua.
Some of the neglected animals were tied to wire kennels located inside a filthy 5 x 5 storage shed filled with feces and urine, stacks of garbage and live roaches, rescuers said. Six cats and one dog were found inside the small shed, six dogs were chained to various items on the property, while eight dogs were inside the garage and four dogs and one cat were found in the deplorable home. All of the animals were removed from the property and received individualized medical treatment from Houston SPCA veterinary and care staff.
