As word spread this weekend that the City of San Antonio's mayor, Julian Castro, may be President Barack Obama's nominee to head the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, a new photo taken by a volunteer inside San Antonio's Animal Care Services (ACS) raises more questions about the facility.

Today City of Sinton, Texas officials responded with an explanation about what happened to a mother dog and her five puppies after thousands of outraged people responded to this Facebook post. 

A new allegation of animal mistreatment by the City of San Antonio's "Animal Care Services" is surfacing, and today the City is responding.

Four thousand, eight hundred thirty one. According to our analysis of the City of San Antonio’s own records 4,831 dogs were euthanized by its Animal Care Services department last year. Nearly 2,000 of those dogs were listed in the reports as “healthy".

More complaints are surfacing today about the City of San Antonio's Animal Care Services. Residents sent Watchdog Mary new stories about what they say is shocking shelter mismanagement and miscategorization of dogs.

Last week we told you how the City put more than 4,000 dogs to sleep in 2013 and many people are now calling for big time changes.
