ANIMAL NEGLECT

“We want to remind folks that we understand hard times, and we are here if you need help,” said HSHV CEO Tanya Hilgendorf in a release.

A Ypsilanti resident faces a repeated felony charge of neglect for 25 animals after HSHV cruelty investigators removed 21 cats and 1 dog.

A man who allegedly left his dog tied to a door without food or water will be charged with animal cruelty and abandonment, according to the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV).

Cruelty investigators are asking the community for tips relating to a dead dog found in a frozen cage in the small field near Share Avenue west of South Harris Road.

The adult cats were found sick, in need of care and medical attention, HSHV said.

On Monday, Penn and Belton each pled guilty to one count of animal abandonment/cruelty and were sentenced to one year of probation, said HSHV in a release.

A man and a woman from Ypsilanti have been charged with beating a puppy.
