The City of Teague issued a final statement regarding the recent animal cruelty allegations on Friday, Aug. 15, to inform the public of the outcome and formally conclude the City’s involvement in the matter.
The dogs’ owner voluntarily surrendered both animals to Teague Animal Control. A rescue volunteer assisted in transporting the dogs to Dallas Animal Services (DAS), the facility where they were originally received. During the transfer, Teague’s Animal Control Officer confirmed there were no signs of abuse or neglect and that both dogs appeared to be in good health.
Upon intake, DAS veterinary staff conducted a thorough evaluation and verified that the dogs are healthy and receiving appropriate care. The animals are now being transferred to a foster home for a 48-hour hold, after which they will be placed with an out-of-state adoption organization.
