The attack happened in the 1600 block of Grandview West.
Witnesses described the dogs as pit bulls.
Gwynne Willis and another woman were in the neighborhood for Jehovah's Witnesses and saw the woman being attacked.
"The woman was on the ground and being mauled," Willis said.
She said she and her companion threw books and other articles at the dogs, but they continued their attack.
A young man pulled up to the scene and used a stick to finally shoo the animals away.
Witnesses said the woman was bleeding profusely.
"This was a vicious attack against a beautiful older woman," Willis said. "Those dogs had the upper hand. It broke our hearts."
The identity and condition of the injured woman were not released Wednesday.
Lou Franklin, director of the Wichita Falls-Wichita County Health District said animal control workers captured both dogs. She said the animals were not strays and Animal Control had not handled them before.
Franklin said Emergency responders arrived on the scene to help the injured woman and animal control officers arrived to capture the animals, which had moved to another yard, to determine if they are vicious.
Paperwork will be filed and the dogs' owner will have the opportunity to appeal.
The final determination of the dogs' fate will be up to a municipal judge, she said.
Franklin said the police department will determine if any criminal charges are filed.
