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.

JESSICA RENAE WAGNER, of Always Faithful Animal Rescue, arrested on new animal cruelty charges

- Kentucky, USA -


On Monday, November 20, 2023, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-years-old JESSICA RENAE WAGNER (pictured).


Many of you may remember her name from another animal cruelty case which Voice For Us reported on in August 2023.

In that case, which is still pending, WAGNER, along with 46-years-old AMY MARIE SMITH (also pictured), and 55-years-old KEVIN EUGENE SMITH, all associated with Always Faithful Animal Rescue, were charged in July 2023 with ninety-one (91) counts of second-degree cruelty to animals among other licensing and failure to vaccinate charges.


In relation to the recent arrest, WAGNER is facing forty-six (46) counts of complicity to commit animal cruelty.

On November 13, 2023, authorities executed a search warrant at a property on Harris School Road in Rineyville which was leased to the nonprofit Always Faithful Animal Rescue.


Officials found forty-five (45) dogs in cages without food and water. The cages were filled with urine and feces. Sadly, officials also found a deceased dog whose body was covered by a plastic child’s pool.


Hardin County Animal Care and Control removed the live dogs and Director Mike McNutt explained to The News-Enterprise: “These animals have been surrendered over to the shelter, and we are in the process of returning these pets back to their original facilities and locations.”

Seven of the forty-five dogs were identified by chip numbers to match dogs from the July case.


At this point it’s not clear whether AMY MARIE SMITH and KEVIN EUGENE SMITH are also involved in this case.


WAGNER was booked into the Hardin County Detention Center and released after posting a $5,000 bond.


McNutt said that the shelter is in need of dog food and puppy food as well as monetary donations. If you wish and can afford to help out, please click here. Thank you!


Authorities did not disclose the name of the deceased furbaby, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Evian for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
