According to Floyd County Jail reports, deputies found in the woman’s home twenty-six (26) Dachshund and Chihuahua mixed dogs living in extreme filth, a small pig who was extremely thin, and a German shepherd who was severely underweight. The furbaby also had whipworms, heartworms and cuts on the nose and ears.

To allow animals to ‘live’ in filth is unconscionable. Neglect is also abuse. These precious souls were reliant upon those two soulless humans. They starved whilst the humans never missed a meal. Punishment is the only answer for cruelty to animals. Get better all of you beautiful souls.
