Cruelty Case Update: Justice for Nala and Nala!
Former Dog Owner Sentenced to Probation and Jail Time.
In August of 2019, the Phoenix Police Department seized two dogs for poor conditions, including no water. One of the dogs also had severe hairloss and was in need of immediate medical attention. Thanks to a new law, which strengthens Arizona’s animal cruelty laws to ensure that the punishment for the most heinous acts of animal cruelty now fit the crime, just last week the former owner of both dogs pled guilty to animal cruelty and was sentenced to…- 11 months of probation during which they cannot own or possess animals
- $1,120 in restitution to AHS
- 10 days jail time suspended only on the successfully completion of probation
