AUSTIN, Texas – Dozens of dogs were rescued from a Bastrop County home, officials said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dozens of dogs rescued in Bastrop County\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
According to the Austin Humane Society (AHS), 41 dogs and one cat were removed from a home. They said the caregiver was overwhelmed and had more animals than they could manage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Most of the dogs, short-faced breeds, were living in unsanitary conditions.<\/p>\n
The Bastrop County Animal Services removed the animals to safety, provided initial care and prepared them for transport to Austin.<\/p>\n

When the animals arrived in Austin, they all received full veterinary care and had intake exams and vaccines. Each animal will also be spayed or neutered before adoption.<\/p>\n
Short-faced breeds have unique breathing and health needs, so they will each be evaluated individually. The AHS medical team will also provide any treatment they may need.<\/p>\n
AHS said some of the animals arrived in rough condition. Some may require more care, like surgery or future treatment.<\/p>\n
