Authorities in the Cuauhtรฉmoc mayor's office in Mexico City investigated a report of alleged animal mistreatment in the Buenavista neighborhood. Personnel from the general directorates of Development and Welfare, Urban Services, and Citizen Security responded to the location near Fรณrum Buenavista.

Upon arrival, officials found three mixed-breed dogs, two males and one female, in the company of individuals experiencing vulnerability. A veterinarian from the Cuauhtรฉmoc Canine and Feline Care Center conducted a clinical assessment of the animals. The veterinarian determined that the dogs were in adequate body condition, had good nutritional status, normal physiological parameters, and showed no injuries or signs consistent with mistreatment or abuse.

We performed a complete physical examination of the three specimens. All show weight appropriate for their condition, good general health, and we found no injuries or indications to suggest mistreatment.
