Transcript

00:00 We begin this hour with an update on a story that we told you about earlier this summer.

00:04 An incident of some dogs being abandoned behind a store in Oildale that was caught on camera.

00:09 23 ABC's Sam Hoyle brings us an update.

00:13 You might remember a story that we brought you a few months ago.

00:15 Three dogs were dumped right behind here at this grocery outlet.

00:19 Thankfully, all three of those dogs are now in the process of being adopted.

00:22 However, those that helped those dogs get to this point don't feel like enough is being

00:27 done to hold the person that dumped them responsible.

00:29 Nobody's going to take any of these laws serious if people are seeing this happen and

00:35 no actions are taken against us.

00:37 It's just going to keep happening.

00:39 Christina Jacober works near where the three dogs were found on June 20th and helped rescue

00:43 them.

00:44 Now as the dogs are safe and set to be adopted, she says the process of trying to hold the

00:48 person who dumped the dogs responsible has been frustrating.

00:51 It's been like headbutting a wall, to be honest.

00:53 After corralling the dogs, Jacober was put in contact with Kim Sill at Shelter Hope Pet

00:57 Shop and Animal Rescue in Thousand Oaks.

01:00 After preparing the dogs for the adoption process, all three dogs went to foster families,

01:04 one in Thousand Oaks, the other two in Washington.

01:07 The dog in Thousand Oaks, Missy, has officially been adopted.

01:10 The other two in Washington are set to be adopted this week.

01:13 Both in fosters, but both of the fosters are finalizing adoptions this week.

01:17 One will take place on Wednesday.

01:18 The other one will be on Sunday, but they've been in a foster home up there for the past

01:24 week and a half.

01:25 Though the three dogs are safe in Sound, Jacober still would like to see justice for

01:28 them.

01:29 I have that one big stepping stool.

01:31 I just need that one person to take their job serious and look this gentleman up and

01:36 it would be solved.

01:38 It's only going to take that one person.

01:40 I can't seem to find that person.

01:42 Kern County Animal Services is responsible for investigating cases like this and prosecuted

01:47 by the district attorney.

01:48 An update on this case is still pending.

01:51 In Oildale, Sam Hoyle, 23 ABC News, connecting you.
