VALLARY LYNN AMATO arrested after eight dogs were abandoned in a Louisville home

- Kentucky, USA -

 

Residents of the 1400 block of Possibility Way in Louisville, alerted Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) to an abandoned home in the neighborhood with dogs inside.

 

According to the neighbors, two men were living in the home but they have not been seen at the property for months. The neighbors also reported to LMAS that there was a stench coming from the home and they could hear the dogs barking inside.

 

Animal Control Officers visited the residence three times between September 30 and November 15 but each time, nobody was home and they could not get inside. Finally, in mid-November, one of the owners allowed ACO to enter the property and remove the dogs.

 

A total of eight dogs were found and removed from the property which was covered in feces piled “several feet high.” ACO further reported that even windowsills and ceilings were covered in feces and that a large hole had been clawed into the wall.

 

From an investigation it emerged that 52-years-old VALLARY LYNN AMATO (pictured) was supposed to be caring for the dogs. The dogs were her son’s and his boyfriend, the two men who were living there.

 

According to neighbors, AMATO did not go every day to the home to feed the dogs but only once a week.

 

AMATO was arrested and on Friday, December 29, 2023, she was arraigned at Jefferson County Circuit Court on eight counts of animal cruelty and one violation of the Metro Louisville ordinance.

A judge set her bond at $2,500 and scheduled her pretrial conference for January 8, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. AMATO was ordered to not have any contact with animals.

 

As for the Voiceless Victims who were removed from the property, Stephanie Jackson, an LMAS spokesperson, told WLKY that they were all cleaned up and placed in foster homes.

 

The investigation is ongoing and two unidentified additional parties are facing charges in the case.
