Deputies said they were dispatched to the 12300 block of Fay Street near east Parmer Lane in Manor Wednesday night.
Erin McCleskey, 36, was visiting the residence to handle a business-related matter when she entered the front gate of the property and was attacked by dogs, according to a press release from the Travis County Sheriff's Office.
Her family told KVUE that she worked as a licensed contracted process server for her stepdad's company, EZ Messenger. The company handles civil paperwork like child support, divorce papers and lawsuits.
Animal Protection officers impounded six dogs from the properties. They also found 14 young puppies that were also living on the property.
According to Animal Protection officers, the dogs involved in the attack appear to be Lab and Great Pyrenees mixes and two of the other dogs appear to be a mix of husky and Australian cattle dog.
All six adult dogs will be held in rabies quarantine at the Austin Animal Center while deputies investigate. It is not clear if someone lives on the property to take care of the animals.
"She was just the light of our lives," said her aunt, Agnes Beasley. "Her mom, my sister, is just in shock, honestly. Totally in shock. The other sad thing is she loved animals."
McClesky's body was taken to the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office where medical officials will begin an investigation into her exact cause of death.
If it were pitbulls the title would read, " Gang of Pitbulls brutally attack and kill". Its like this everywhere. Only pitbulls get the bad rap even though just as many other breeds kill people.
