Animal Care Services has suspended the commercial boarding permit at a Northeast Side facility and reported its owner to state investigators, but will not pursue animal cruelty charges against him, ACS officials confirmed to KSAT Investigates.

In early September, Windcrest Councilman Greg Turner stood before the city’s ethics commission and said he did not have a personal or professional relationship with Corey Jones, the owner of a nearby boarding facility that had recently housed the city’s stray cats and dogs for nearly a year.

Tales of selflessness and heroism — and of deadly delays and heartbreaking missed opportunities — are emerging after the remnants of Hurricane Ida pummeled the Northeast with record-breaking rain that flooded roads and houses, killing dozens.
