CHRISTINA MARIA URRUTIA arrested – Twenty-eight dogs found in deplorable conditions rescued from a Sonoma County home

- California, USA -

The Windsor Police Department arrested 35-year-old CHRISTINA MARIA URRUTIA.

On December 9, 2025, officers conducted a probation compliance check at a residence in the 7000 block of Hastings Place in Windsor.

As explained in the Department’s press release, the visit was to ensure URRUTIA was in compliance with court-ordered probation. 

Inside the residence, officers discovered twenty-eight (28) dogs. The dogs, ranging from young puppies to adult mixed-breed terriers, “were confined to the garage,” stated the press release.

Officers immediately called North Bay Animal Services (NBAS) for assistance.

The press release further stated: “A walkthrough of the garage revealed poor and unsafe living conditions, including an abundance of fecal matter, soiled bedding, limited or no food available, and dirty water.”

Police said that three of the dogs were found in crates with heavily-soiled bedding, one of the adult dogs had a large open wound above his/her right eye, and two other dogs had to be taken to an animal services hospital for emergency care.

NBAS removed all of the furvictims. I reached out to the agency and requested updates on the dogs. If I get a response, I will post an update.

URRUTIA was placed under arrest at the scene and charged with animal cruelty, possession of unlicensed dogs, operating a commercial kennel without a license, and violation of probation.

The investigation is ongoing.
