According to Texarkana, Texas Public Information Officer, Lisa Thompson animal control officers were called to a house on W. 9th street because residents had reported seeing animals trying to chew their way out. Animal control officers gained entry to the house through a relative of the owner and found seven puppies, four adult dogs and one cat abandoned.

“The animals were taken to the shelter and are on a thirty day hold,” Thompson said.

Now the owner of the dogs wants the dogs BACK. At this time the animals are on a 30 day hold at the local animal shelter while criminal investigation continues. In the end, it looks like a judge will decide if the animals are to be returned to the owner. This petition is a way to be a VOICE for the animals AND SAY NO to their return!
