200+ Dog Seizure, Northwest Houston
Thursday, January 20, 2011
The Houston Humane Society’s R.A.I.D.E.R. team has rescued 241 Animals from a private Houston residence.For years the dogs have been living inside the residence in severely unclean and deplorable conditions. By all accounts, the owner started out as a breeder and at some point stopped selling the animals which continued to breed indiscriminately resulting in this out of control situation. Sgts. Guerra and Schuelke of Precinct 6 and the Houston Humane Society R.A.I.D.E.R. team executed the warrant on 1-20-2011. Animals have been brought to Houston Humane Society where medical evaluations will be conducted.
Monetary donations are being sought to help cover the costly medical expenses and intensive care.
Houston Humane Society needs help to handle the influx of 200+ animals. Foster families are desperately needed to help care for some of our current pet residents to free up kennel space for the rescued dogs who need isolation and extensive veterinary care.

The Houston Humane RAIDER Officers teamed up with the local Panola County Sheriff's Department to investigate
a report of animal cruelty. Until a warrant was served, the woman refused to allow authorities to conduct a welfare
check on the animals. Once inside, the officers found 87 canines and six kittens living in severe filth. All Animals were
kept in overcrowded, dank, dismal conditions. It was obvious the dogs were neglected, malnourished and abused.
All 93 animals were immediately transported back to the HHS Animal Wellness Clinic for observation and care from
our staff of medical professionals. A court date in Panola County is still pending for the near future.

Update Danbury/Pearland Starving Dogs Case
9:56 A.M. - Tuesday 26 January 2010
HHS Deputy Stacey Schuelke spoke with Brazoria County District Attorney, Jeri Yenni yesterday. She personally visited
the dogs at the home where they are being well cared for. One was treated for a minor issue not related to the prior
situation. As these dogs are in good shape, there are no plans to seize these animals. DA Yenni is still investigating
the person(s) that were responsible for the death of 'Cookie' the dog that died of starvation.
The Houston Humane Society is working directly with Brazoria County authorities on this case. Updates will be posted
as they develop.
