AUSTIN, Texas - Nineteen dogs were rescued from a home in Bastrop County.
The backstory:
According to the Austin Humane Society (AHS), all 19 dogs were living on a property in Bastrop County. They were all rescued and taken to the Austin Humane Society shelter on Tuesday.
The dogs had been living outside and are all small, mixed breeds. They range in age from about three months to three years old.
They are all suffering from flea infestations, internal parasites, and skin, eye, and ear infections, some of which appear to be chronic, AHS said.
Treatment will be started for all the dogs. Some are undergoing medical and behavioral evaluations at the shelter.
