AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas Humane Heroes, along with Killeen Animal Services and a few other rescues, is working to find homes for about 65 dogs discovered in Coryell County on Friday.
Texas Humane Heroes said the pets came from a “hoarding situation” and were “living in severe neglect.” Many animals were malnourished and in need of care, according to the rescue.
Volunteers and staff worked to set up kennels and supplies for the dogs, and Texas Humane Heroes said it welcomed 10 of the dogs to its shelter that still need medical care.

Texas Humane Heroes said staff will return Sunday to rescue more of the dogs. Coryell County is northwest of Temple, Texas.
“This is an all-hands-on-deck effort and a tremendous strain on our resources,” said Jayne Whisnant, chief development officer of Texas Humane Heroes. “We want to help as many of these animals as possible, but we need the community’s support to make it happen.”
Texas Human Heroes said the community can help by adopting or fostering a dog, which makes room for more animals at the shelter, or donate to support food and medical care. Visit its website for more details.
