LEBANON A Lebanon woman is facing one count of animal cruelty for abandoning seven dogs and seven cats in a home on South Meridian Street.
Faren Taylor has been summoned for an initial hearing Tuesday morning in Boone Circuit Court. If convicted of the Class A misdemeanor, Taylor could spend a year in prison.
Authorities rescued 14 dogs and cats from the abandoned residence on April 7. The home was trashed and had an excessive accumulation of fecal matter and urine everywhere. The animals were significantly underweight and most did not have food and water, according to Boone County Animal Control officer Deputy Hannah Fisher said.
