The dogs, fearful and confused, had been forsaken in the midst of a storm by those they likely trusted as family.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Norwood, who handles public relations for San Antonio Animal Care Services, shared her thoughts with The Dodo: \u201cWhenever we encounter situations like this, it\u2019s both saddening and frustrating. The intense thunderstorms must have only added to their fear, coupled with the traffic noise,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<div id=\"daily-d966153cfe2609d260976a6866d207dc\" class=\"daily-d966153cfe2609d260976a6866d207dc daily-after-para\">\n<div id=\"daily-1919367085\" class=\"daily-after-para\">\n<div id=\"daily-1538256607\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-187344\" src=\"https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1.jpg 1584w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1-1024x945.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1-150x138.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1-768x709.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo-of-tarp-in-a-parking-lot-1-1-1536x1418.jpg 1536w\" alt=\"Faced with these circumstances, the shel...\" width=\"1584\" height=\"1462\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Upon discovering the frightened animals, staff quickly mobilized to bring them into the shelter\u2019s safe confines, providing warmth, food, and water.<\/p>\n<p>The team named the German Shepherds Peaches and Cyrus, while the Chihuahua was called Gabby. Norwood noted that Peaches and Gabby settled in relatively quickly, but Cyrus was deeply distressed and took longer to adjust to his new environment.<\/p>\n<p>The broader issue of stray animals in San Antonio remains a growing challenge, with shelters often filled beyond capacity. As highlighted on their Instagram, Animal Care Services manages an ongoing crisis involving abandoned pets, wandering animals, and overcrowded facilities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-187345\" src=\"https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1.jpg 1584w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1-1024x944.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1-150x138.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1-768x708.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailybbnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/man-lifting-the-tarp-1-1-1536x1416.jpg 1536w\" alt=\"Extra image from article\" width=\"1584\" height=\"1460\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Faced with these circumstances, the shelter acted swiftly.
