Dogs rescued by the Houston Humane Society

HOUSTON, Texas – The Houston Humane Society is currently aiding in the recovery of 35 dogs that were rescued in a case of animal hoarding in northwest Harris County.

The owner agreed to surrender the animals without incident, saying they had not been spayed or neutered and became too much to handle when they continued to multiply. Investigators at Harris County Pets removed the animals from the home and transported them to the Houston Humane Society to receive medical care.
