JOHNNISE DENNELL MYLES arrested for leaving her dogs locked outside on the patio. One died

- Nevada, USA -


Officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department animal cruelty section responded to an apartment complex in the 1400 block of North Lamb Boulevard on August 11, 2022, after a neighbor reported a foul odor from a decomposing dog and the whimpering of another dog.


Officers found two Pitbulls. Sadly, one was dead and the other one was in distress and had no food or water.


Police said that 32-years-old JOHNNISE DENNELL MYLES (pictured), left her apartment on August 5, 2022, to go on a trip to California.


MYLES said she was supposed to return to Las Vegas on August 7, 2022; however, she did not come back until August 14, 2022, because she was arrested in the Golden State on an unrelated charge, and after her rental vehicle was impounded, she had to wait for her mother to give her a ride back to Las Vegas.


KLAS reports that MYLES “told police she did not see anything wrong with leaving the animals on the patio, even in the extreme Las Vegas heat, because she believed they had enough food and water.”


According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, MYLES “told police she believed the dogs would be kept cool by a fan in the laundry room that was on the patio.”

The news agency further reports that “Animal control officers found the fan, dog bed, dog food and an empty five-gallon bucket on the patio. Temperatures reached highs of 96 to 105 degrees while the dogs were left outside, according to the report.”


The live dog was not the only VOICELESS VICTIM removed from the hellish apartment. Officers also found and seized a lizard, a snake, and about twenty fish. The snake and the lizard did not have any food or water.


Police said a necropsy would be performed on the deceased furbaby.


MYLES was arrested on August 16, 2022, and charged with two counts of willful or malicious torture, maiming, or killing of a dog.

She was released after posting bail and is due in court on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.


On an unrelated note, online court records show that in 2014, MYLES faced felony charges related to burglary, and buy, possess, receive, or withhold stolen property.

JUAN VILLAREAL arrested after seventeen dogs were found abandoned in a home he was renting

- Texas, USA -


On August 13, 2022, the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office responded to a property in the 100 block of Flying Heart Road, just outside of South Waco, after receiving a call requesting the property be checked.


Inside the residence, deputies discovered seventeen dogs who had been abandoned. There was no air conditioning for the furbabies and FOX 44 reports that deputies “noted the temperature was 101 degrees at the time.”


According to 6News, McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara described the home as being in one of the worse conditions he has seen in quite a while. He said the dogs “were trapped in the house with cattle paddles and wire on the windows.”


Animal control services were called in to assist with the removal of the furbabies.


Sheriff Parnell McNamara said the dogs showed clear signs of neglect, with one of the seventeen dogs found in the home suffering from Parvo.

According to KWTX, the dogs were taken to the Humane Society of Central Texas and are receiving treatment. The news agency also reports that Kandi Hillyer, Executive Director of the Humane Society, said: “Who knows how long they were locked up in that house. It was about 115 degrees they measured in that home they came from. A heart wrenching, absolutely filthy environment.”


Deputies learned from the owner of the property that 47-years-old JUAN VILLAREAL (pictured), had been renting the home since 2017.


As reported by KWTX, VILLAREAL turned himself in on the early morning of Thursday, August 18, 2022, after he found out that the FAST Unit was after him.


The affidavit accuses VILLAREAL of abandoning the dogs causing “unjustified or unwarranted pain or suffering.”

He was booked into the McLennan County Jail on five counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals, abandonment and bond was set at $10,000.

MIA JO DODSON charged after dead and malnourished puppies and dogs found at her home

- West Virginia, USA -



~ Update: August 9, 2022


I have emailed Fayette County Sheriff Mike Fridley and inquired about all the furbabies.


He kindly responded to my email and told me that at the home there was a Mama dog who is between 2-3 years old. He said she is possibly a Pitbull mix. The mom gave birth to a total of 11 puppies.

Two of the puppies were found deceased and eaten by the other dogs.

Three puppies who were found alive were removed but sadly, passed away within 24 hours because their mom was too emaciated to produce milk. Overnight, the mom then delivered another 6 puppies all stillborn.


The Sheriff also said there was a Miniature Pincher mix who is about 5 years old. The furbaby was found completely malnourished and dehydrated.


An 8-month-old Blue healer mix was found locked in a room with no food or water, covered in fleas.

Additionally, there was the dog who was seen by a neighbor getting on the roof of DODSON’s home.

All the furbabies had worms and were infested with fleas. They are now at the Fayette Veterinary Hospital in the care of Dr. Matt Faulkner.




~ Original story:


On Friday, August 5, 2022, deputies with the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department received a call about possible animal cruelty in Glen Ferris. The caller told deputies that the night before, in the neighborhood, someone had seen a dog climb out of a window onto the roof of a house. The caller went on to tell deputies that when that witness went to that home to tell resident that their dog was on the roof, “they witnessed what appeared to be multiple deceased puppies, feces and urine all over the floor, and other dogs that seemed extremely malnourished” said Fayette County Sheriff Mike Fridley.


Deputies and Animal Control responded to the reported home and discovered dead puppies who appeared to have been consumed by the other dogs inside the property.

The conditions inside the residence were deplorable.


The live dogs were taken to a veterinarian where they were deemed malnourished and neglected.


In connection with this case, deputies charged 25-years-old MIA JO DODSON (pictured), with seven counts of MISDEMEANOR animal cruelty.

Online records show that DODSON, of Hico, is being held on $10,000 cash bail in Southern Regional Jail while she awaits further court proceedings.


Sheriff Fridley said anyone with information about this case should call the department at (304) - 574 - 3590 or contact Crime Stoppers of West Virginia at (304) - 255 - STOP. Thank you!
