JANELLE LIRA facing charges after she was caught on camera forcefully throwing a bottle at a dog

Maybe JANELLE LIRA thought she was going to get away with animal abuse. Well, thanks to an amazing citizen, whom KOB identified as Cyndi, that’s not going to happen!


On the evening of January 4, 2025, surveillance cameras at Cyndi’s home in Rio Rancho captured a female driving a car and chasing a small white dog. At some point, the female pulls up at Cyndi’s curb, exits the vehicle, and as the dog quickly runs in her direction, she aggressively throws a bottle of water at the furvictim who inevitably collapses and rolls over.


The video goes on to show the female yelling something at the terrorized dog before grabbing him/her and putting him/her in the car.


Cyndi told KOB that the female drove off before she could question her.


Cyndy did not let the incident go and turned to neighbors on NextDoor in hopes of getting help identifying the female and locating her.


Cyndy explained to KOB: “Not to get everybody worked up, but just to find out where she lived, so that we can, one, check on the animal and, two, so I could have an address to file the charges.”


The following day, JANELLE LIRA was identified as the female seen in the video.


According to KOB, an officer with the Rio Rancho Police Department went to LIRA’s home and in her yard, he found a small white dog. The officer reported that the furvictim appeared to be wheezing in between barks.


LIRA faces one misdemeanor count of animal abuse.


I emailed the Sandoval County Detention Center to request her mugshot but I was told she was not in their system. I have also emailed the Rio Rancho Police Department because it’s not clear to me whether or not the furvictim was removed. At the time of writing, I have not received a response yet.


On a separate note, KOB reports that according to court documents, in 2024, LIRA was charged with battery for hitting her sister-in-law’s daughter in the face at an indoor jungle gym. The case was dismissed by prosecutors.


If you know who JANELLE LIRA is, please share her face. Thank you!

MILLER is accused of repeatedly striking her defenseless 3-month-old Poodle puppy on the balcony of her apartment in the1200 block of Culebra.


The vile incident, that took place the day before MILLER’s arrest, was thankfully witnessed by a resident who promptly recorded it.


An investigation was immediately launched resulting in MILLER’s arrest and the rescue of the Voiceless Victim.


MILLER faces at least one count of animal cruelty-torture, a 3rd degree felony. Her bond was set at $15,000 and on January 19, 2025, she was released after posting it.

- Maryland, USA -


An animal cruelty investigation conducted by the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office led to the execution of a search and seizure warrant at a residence in the 30000 block of Gershwin Road, Charlotte Hall, on January 15, 2025.


According to a press release by the sheriff’s office, at the residence deputies found more than thirty dogs “living in unsafe and unhealthy conditions.” The release stated that many of the dogs “appeared malnourished, underweight, and lacking medical care.”


Deputies learned that the residents of the house, 35-year-old DOMINIQUE TIASHA PARRISH and 51-year-old KELVIN LOVERN SHEPHERD (both pictured), had been performing illegal procedures on the dogs, and evidence of these procedures was recovered at the scene.


Officers from the Animal Services Division of St. Mary’s County Government’s Department of Emergency Services removed a total of thirty-six dogs.

All of the Voiceless Victims were taken to the St. Mary’s County Animal Adoption and Resource Care Center for evaluation and treatment.


PARRISH and SHEPHERD were charged with multiple counts of aggravated animal cruelty, animal cruelty, and performing unlawful medical procedures on dogs.


SHEPHERD was additionally charged with illegal firearm possession as during the search deputies found a Ruger 9mm handgun and ammunition. The sheriff’s office said SHEPHERD is prohibited from possessing firearms due to a prior conviction for a disqualifying crime of violence.


The investigation is ongoing and additional details cannot be disclosed at this time.
