Houston, TX asked in Animal / Dog Law for Texas

Q: My neighbors dog is pregnant and they have her trapped on the porch and she has been whining.

Also has been scratching at the door for almost 6 hours now. Any other day, they don't care about her. I feed her and water her and pick the ticks off her. I bring her inside when its snowing and raining and super cold or super hot and she just usually roams free. Is there anything I can do?

A: You could offer to adopt the dog - it doesn't sound like they'll miss her.

Alternatively, there are several places you can report animal abuse:
