OH: Three Dogs Found in Horrific Conditions; Owner Arrested

Three Dogs Found in Horrific Conditions; Owner Arrested

LORAIN, Ohio---A horrific case of animal abuse was discovered inside a home in Lorain.  Officers were called to the Eagle Avenue home on Christmas Day.

According to police, a woman asked a neighbor to call police after she claimed her ex-husband kicked in her back door and stole items.  While checking outside the house, the officers spotted two adult dogs and a puppy in an outside run.  According to police, all three dogs were emaciated and appeared to be starving to death.

The police report states that when questioned about the open wounds on the female Great Dane, the woman claimed the two adult dogs fought over food the last time she fed them.  The report also states that the kennel floor was covered with dog feces so thick that the animals had no choice but to step in it. There was no food or water, nor any insulation that I could see inside the kennel itself that would allow the dogs to stay warm

The 27-year-old woman was arrested on three counts of cruelty to animals. She was taken to Lorain County Jail.  The dogs were confiscated and taken to a local veterinarian for treatment.
