Santa Fe – A woman from whom 20 dogs were seized by the county last week got four dogs back after a court hearing Wednesday.

Sabrina Fesler was also awarded a goat and a pig Wednesday that were previously taken away by Galveston County Animal Services. The animals were seized by animal services April 11 from Fesler’s property, where she said she was running an informal animal rescue program.

Owners that had previously given animals up to Fesler have claimed several of the seized animals, said Kurt Koopmann with the Galveston County Health District.

Some of the remaining animals are awaiting adoption at the county shelter at 3412 Loop 197 North in Texas City, he said.
