animal cruelty

Winter is just around the corner, and Laramie County Animal Control is reminding pet owners not to leave their furry friends out in the cold.

The dog was bleeding from its throat and mouth, and when it saw officers, it began wagging its tail even though it was badly hurt.

The Laramie County Sheriff's Office is still trying to determine who shot two horses northwest of Cheyenne last month, killing one and seriously injuring the other.

The property owner then set up a trail camera to watch for any unusual activity.

Animal control officers began by removing six to eight dogs from a bedroom.

They were accused of not providing proper food and water for 27 of their animals in June 2019.

Officers also found a red dog collar in the blood and a dead guinea pig in a cage.

The animals' owner later took them to a veterinarian for evaluation.

Holly Gann, director of federal affairs at the advocacy group Animal Wellness Action, said the measure was long overdue.

The house had dirt, debris, animal feces, litter scattered throughout.
