HAWKINS, Texas — The Hawkins Police Department is asking local pet lovers to lend a hand to a man in the area with a big heart for dogs.
According to the HPD, a Hawkins resident ended up with 45 dogs after bringing them home from a shelter and needs help finding them a home.
The department noted the man's situation "is a violation in the city," and he has been fined twice already.
Police say if the man doesn't find homes for the pups by the end of the week, there is "only one option [they would] rather not mention."
If you can help, please contact the HPD at (903) 769-3628.
