Texas police seize 22 dogs in car

It is so disturbing when we hear that someone has left a dog in a car for an extended period of time without proper food or water. But when you find 22 dogs locked in a car with their owner, it becomes an entirely new problem.

According to this article from the Star Tribune, a Texas woman was found locked in her car with 22 canines including two puppies. The woman apparently refused to open the doors when an officer tried to serve her a warrant for the seizure of the dogs on Monday.

In the car, there was one pot of water and blankets and the interior was covered with waste and urine. There were also extremely high ammonia levels in the vehicle.

A hearing will take place to decide the custody of the dogs. Until then, they were transported to a local SPCA.

I find it strange that the woman isn't facing any charges. An SPCA spokesperson said that they called Adult Protective Services about the woman, but did not really release any other information as to why she would have so many animals crammed in a filthy car. It is also strange that she is the owner of all of these animals considering how irresponsible this action is.

It is so sad when animals have to suffer for no reason. Hopefully these dogs will recover from the incident and find themselves in loving homes where people can care for them properly.
