Authorities said they had received several complaints of stray dogs in the area.

BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas – Over a dozen horses are now in the care of the Houston Humane Society after they were rescued from an abandoned property in Brazoria County.
Several Brazoria County authorities and departments joined with the Houston Human Society to seize the animals that had been left on the land.
According to a Facebook post, 18 horses were left behind by family and were severely dehydrated and underweight when they were rescued.
