Authorities rescued 71 animals from a school bus in Galveston. Among them, A’rhx, a dog missing for two months, was reunited with his family.
On Monday, authorities in Galveston Island State Park saved 71 dogs, cats, and puppies from being kept in a school bus in horrible conditions. A witness saw boxes full of urine and feces and called 911. This is what caused police to step in and help.
Someone gave the animals up, but their name has not been made public. She hasn't been charged yet, and police are still trying to figure out if she is the same person they think stole pets from their owners under fake pretenses.
The animals that were saved are now getting medical checks at the Galveston Island Humane Society (GIHS) and the Houston SPCA.
One of the dogs saved was A'rhx, who had been lost for two months. The Bradley family was shocked when they received a text message from GIHS telling them that their much-loved pet had been found.
"My disabled son was overjoyed." "A'rhx is one of the few words he can say, and now he gets to say it while seeing him again," KiShun Bradley said.
Bradley said that A'rhx and another family dog, KC, went missing while they were living with a relative. They were taken by a woman who said she ran a no-kill shelter, and the family tried hard to get them back but failed.
The Galveston Island Humane Society is currently checking out the saved animals and will let people know when they are healthy enough to be adopted.
At the same time, the Bradley family is planning to see A'rhx again this weekend, but KC is still missing.
The police are still looking into the case of animal cruelty, and possible charges are still waiting.
