SAN ANTONIO – Multiple dogs were killed Wednesday in a fire on the Northeast Side, according to San Antonio Animal Care Services.
Authorities responded to the fire around 12:10 p.m. in the 9300 block of Toronto Drive, near Interstate 10.
ACS said “a couple of dozen” dogs died in the fire, although the exact number is unclear. Officials are investigating the dogs’ ownership and potential ordinance violations, but said citations will be issued for the “excessive amount of animals.”
ACS said it has not received calls for service at the address since 2022.
