Nearly 50 animals rescued from North Houston home in repeat hoarding case

Nearly 50 animals living in squalid conditions were rescued from a North Houston home today in a large-scale operation by the Houston SPCA and Harris County Constable Precinct 1. The rescue included 13 dogs, 10 cats, one rabbit, and 25 fowl. Responders found the animals in horrific conditions, with rooms filled with trash, urine, and feces. Some of the animals were confined to wire kennels in the backyard, with at least one dog suffering from a large untreated tumor. This isn’t the first intervention at this location. Both the Houston SPCA and Precinct 1 responded to the same property eight years ago, rescuing 32 dogs from similar neglect.
