17 dogs found living in extremely poor conditions inside north Harris County home

Seventeen dogs were found and rescued from inside a north Harris County home this week.

Constable deputies with Mark Herman, Precinct 4 Office, responded to a welfare check at a home located in the 3100 block of Dogwood Drive.

The constable deputies said the owner advised them that she was unsure of the total number of dogs inside her home, and said she had been attempting to rehome them, but was unsuccessful.

When the constable deputies entered the home, they found multiple dogs fighting and climbing into the walls where holes had been chewed.

The home was covered in urine and feces, and many of the dogs were covered in waste and had severe skin issues.

All 17 dogs have since been signed over to Harris County Animal Control.
