Animal Seizure - Help!

Houston Collie Rescue is participating in processing the seizure of over 100 purebred collies ordered seized by a Federal Judge in a bankruptcy case. The owner, an optometrist in Tomball, Tx. had dogs seized in a cruelty case in 2007. Apparently no one ever came back to check on her. The dogs were unsocialized and living in filthy conditions.

Volunteers gave all the dogs baths over the week-end and they are being assessed for medical problems at this point. Hopefully, sometime in the coming week, the judge will release them to HCR, and other groups, including the one with which I volunteer, will start preparing them for new homes. The dogs are underweight and have a plethora of medical problems. I wouldn't be surprised if many don't have heart worms which are rampant in that area. Two of the females were noticeably pregnant and one of them had 12 pups last night. Most of the dogs are Smooth Collies which are the short-haired version of the breed.

Anyone in the Houston area willing to help with these dogs or anyone wishing to make a monetary donation can contact Houston Collie Rescue through their website.

Many of the dogs are this color and look similar to this dog.

Here are some of the dogs with the volunteers yesterday. Note how eager they are for human interaction. That's a collie for you!
