Ann Flores is receiving a great deal of kudos for her recent actions and it is time that we tell her story. She resides in Houston and was forced to intervene when she saw some animals being treated poorly. Ann was at the Harris County Animal Shelter with a friend of hers, when she came across some dogs who were in serious need of her assistance.

She is someone who loves to stop by and spread good cheer to all of the shelter dogs on a regular basis. Ann saw that there were two dogs who were being treated ruthlessly by their soon to be former owner. The animals seemed to be dragged into the facility against their will. One of the dogs had tossed themselves down on the pavement, refusing to head inside.

“He laid on his back and just rolled over. It was like he was saying, ‘Please don’t take me in here.’”

“They were both pulling, but the dogs wouldn’t budge. They had to pick them up because they just would not move. They would not walk in there.”

“They didn’t care. They were just laughing and giggling because the dogs wouldn’t move. To them, it was just like throwing trash away. There was no remorse, nothing. I was really, really angry, and I could feel my blood pressure rise. Why get an animal if you’re not going to keep it and do this to them? It’s not fair,” Flores vented to The Dodo.

This is the sort of cruelty that dogs are subjected to when their owners no longer want them. You would think that this woman would have felt at least a little remorse in this situation but of course not.

These sorts of people simply want to ditch their responsibilities and they do not care who they hurt in the process. That’s where people like Ann come into play.

They are willing to step up to the plate when so many others will not. Ann’s blood began to boil as she watched the cruel treatment of the dogs. She could not believe that the women who were abandoning them could be so callous. The dogs were begging not to go and this meant absolutely nothing to them. It was easy for them to let the dogs go.

“Why get an animal if you’re not going to keep it and do this to them?”, asks Ann. We are right there with her on this one, for sure. People need to stop bringing home animals if they are not going to be willing to do what is right. After all, pets deserve better than being carelessly cast aside as soon as it is no longer convenient to have them around.

Ann shared the info with Harris County Animal Volunteers, who posted about the dogs on social media. From there, Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue offered boarding. We are proud to report that both of these dogs have since found forever homes with families that are willing to care for them. Please share this amazing story with all of the animal lovers in your life as soon as possible!
