Animal Care Services Officers returned to the 3500 block of Bluebonnet Street this morning and recovered the female pit bull mix with a collar partially embedded in its neck. Animal Care Services and Corpus Christi Police Officers had responded to the home Friday afternoon to investigate a complaint of animal cruelty. The dog had been tied to a fence in the back yard of the home. Officers attempted to contact the owners, but were unsuccessful at that time.
ACS transported the dog to a local veterinarian for treatment. Other than the wound in the neck caused by the collar, the dog appears to be in reasonably good health. The dog will be held by ACS until it can be legally adopted. Charges of Animal Cruelty against the dog’s owners are being pursued.
