Residents in Godley, Texas, are reporting that packs of abandoned dogs have become a growing concern, raising fears about safety and animal welfare.
Homeowners in Godley’s Star Ranch subdivision told NBC DFW that the animals, often seen roaming near new housing developments, appear malnourished and at risk of disease. One resident said she regularly sees groups of dogs near the neighborhood and worries “they’re going to get hit, or they’re going to attack somebody.”
NBC DFW reported that the Godley Police Department confirmed it has received multiple calls about loose dogs in recent months, including reports of upwards of 40 dogs being seen on the streets at one time.
