The Amazing Rescue Of 19 Neglected Bastrop Pups

Many in the state of Texas are very protective of animals. When a Texan sees an animal in distress, their first instinct is to help it in some way. For 19 dogs in the state, rescue certainly put them on the road to being taken care of.

19 Dogs Discovered In Bastrop Needing Rescue

According to KXAN, the Austin Humane Society recently were able to save a large amount of dogs from a unidentified place in the city of Bastrop. Per AHS, the dogs were "all small mixed breeds," and had been outside for most of the time. The older dogs were 3 years old, with the younger ones being about 3 months old.

The dogs had many health issues, per AHS:

“[They] are suffering from flea infestations, internal parasites, skin, eye and ear infections, some of which appear to be chronic...Their condition is likely due to general neglect at the property.”

Now, the bigger question becomes, how will the dogs be treated and will they be available for adoption?

Can Anyone In Central Texas Adopt One Of The 19 Rescued Dogs After Treatment?

The good news is that the pups will indeed be up for adoption soon. But, it will be some time before they are ready to be taken to their forever home. The reasoning of course is none other the fact that the dogs need to be medically cared for before the process of adoption can begin.

AHS told KXAN that: “All of the dogs will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, treated for parasites and receive age-appropriate vaccinations before heading into their new homes."

So, it looks like Central Texas will have 19 new dogs to consider bringing home as a pet!
