In total, 87 dogs are currently in rescue services' care and 16 were relocated with the help of family assistance. Falgout said the home involved in the hoarding incident is being boarded up and is set to be demolished.
"We are hopeful that this situation will shed light on the need of sterilizing pets as well as vaccinations and microchips," she added in her email.
In fewer than three years, Falgout said CCACtx has helped sterilize more than 1,500 animals as well as microchip pets. She said her hope is for CCACtx to launch a brick and mortar location in downtown Lockhart next year to provide monthly low-cost clinics to community members seeking those services.
