A 23-year-old Miller County, Arkansas, woman is facing a felony charge of animal cruelty after she moved out of her residence, leaving three dogs behind to starve. According to KTLA News, on February 14 deputies with the Miller County Sheriff’s Office found three dogs at the home where Alyssa Monaghan had lived until November. One of the dogs had died, and the surviving dogs were emaciated.
Deputy Hayden Richardson and Sgt. Wesley Penny reported finding a dachshund and a large heeler inside of the home – the dogs were skeletal and had no access to food or water. Another dog, described as a black and tan dachshund, had died. The home on 6300 block of Miller Co. Rd. 10 was described as being littered with feces and trash and there was blood found smeared on the walls.
The resident that called the police stated that she saw Monaghan move out of the house on November 10 – she called for help after seeing a dog stick its head out of a broken window on February 14.
