Target: Mr. Kim Ogg, District Attorney of Harris County, Texas
Goal: Investigate and ensure strict penalties for the individual allegedly responsible for the neglect and deaths of the dogs, and enforce stronger animal welfare regulations.
In Houston, Texas, at least three dogs reportedly died while under the care of a pet sitter booked through Rover.com. The Houston Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Unit is investigating the incident after as many as seven dogs were rushed to an emergency room.
Dog owners Jessica Hayward, Taylor Friesenhahn, Jordan and Matthew Johnston, and Andrew Seerden shared their distress, believing their pets suffered heat strokes due to being kept in a shed without working air conditioning. The pet sitter had good reviews but allegedly failed to provide adequate care, resulting in this tragic incident.
This incident underscores the urgent need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent neglect and ensure justice for the animals involved. Take stringent measures to hold individuals accountable for this alleged animal cruelty and ensure the well-being of pets in our community.
