Two dogs were rescued after being “cruelly” stuffed into cage left in sweltering sun; body temps soared past 100 in cramped wire kennel that was sitting in blazing summer heat, Harris County Constable Precinct One Alan Rosen said.
The mixed-breed dogs had no water and had been in the sun for about three hours when they were rescued Monday from outside a home in northwest Harris County, Constable Rosen said.
“No animals should be treated like this,” Constable Rosen said. “Thank goodness investigators rescued these dogs before it was too late.”
The dogs were evaluated by the Houston SPCA, which works in coordination with Constable Precinct One’s Animal Cruelty Unit, which is investigating the incident in the 7300 block of Millbrae Lane.
One dog’s internal temperature had reached 105 degrees and the other’s was nearly 104 degrees.
Houston SPCA investigators were the first on the scene and noted the dogs were panting and in distress.
Constable Precinct One’s Animal Cruelty Unit will present its findings to prosecutors to determine if criminal charges are warranted.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in justice of the peace court to determine whether the dogs’ can be returned to their owner.
Constable Rosen asks that anyone who spots animals in distress contact the Houston SPCA at 713-869-7722.
“We need everyone’s help to keep animals safe,” Constable Rosen said.
