Abuser names unreleased

A woman thought she heard a baby crying at an empty house. When she went with another neighbor to investigate, she found two dogs that were abandoned by the family who moved out of the house.

The dogs were left outside with no food or water. One dog was locked in a cage, and the other tied up. Rider discovered the dogs two weeks ago. The family moved out about one month ago. These dogs were left abandoned, chained up to fend for themselves.

The Humane Society of North Texas came to the dogs' aide.

The Humane Society now cares for the dogs, which are reported to be in fair condition. The former owners have been charged with animal cruelty.
