JANELLE KAY MILLS arrested - One dead dog found in a plastic bag and fifty-six live animals rescued from filthy conditions

- Louisiana, USA -

The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested 57-year-old JANELLE KAY MILLS (pictured).

On April 2, 2025, deputies were contacted by Animal Control Officers after they had been at MILLS’ home in Monroe for a welfare check.

No one answered the door at MILLS’ home and after deputies announced their presence several times, they decided to forcefully enter the home.

Inside the home, officials were greeted by the smell of decomposition. They discovered multiple cats and dogs who were living in filth. The cats were found in a closed bedroom and the dogs were found “in kennels in severely deplorable conditions.”

In every room of the home, officials saw feces and urine. Sadly, they also discovered a deceased dog inside trash bags in the laundry room.

Animal Control Officers removed a total of fifty-six animals from the home. Seven cats and forty-eight dogs.

MILLS was arrested on April 8, 2025, and charged with fifty-six (56) counts of animal cruelty.

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim who was found dead Rumba for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
