KRYSTA DAWN LABARR arrested after two adult dogs and five puppies were found abandoned in a Lawrence home

- New York, USA -


~ Update: April 22, 2025


Police tell me the two adult dogs are the puppies’ mom and dad and that “The puppies were about ten days old and at last check were nursing again with the mother.”


LABARR will be back in court on June 3, 2025.


~ Original story:


Members of the New York State Police arrested 36-year-old KRYSTA DAWN LABARR (pictured – via Facebook).


Police said that on the afternoon of April 15, 2025, Troopers were dispatched to a residence on Brooklyn Road in the town of Lawrence to investigate an animal cruelty complaint.


From the investigation it emerged that “two adult dogs and five puppies had been abandoned inside a residence” and that LABARR was their guardian.


According to the police, the furvictims were malnourished and underweight and the residence was covered in urine and feces.


All of the Voiceless Victims were removed from the residence with the assistance of Animal Control and the Potsdam Humane Society.


Three days later, on April 18, 2025, LABARR was arrested and charged with seven counts of animal cruelty for torturing or injuring animals and failing to provide adequate sustenance. She was transported to SP Massena for processing and then released on an appearance ticket, which requires her to return to Lawrence Town Court in June.

MICHELLE ANN ROBERTS arrested for abandoning her dogs in the home she was evicted from

- Ohio, USA -


The Toledo Police Department arrested 33-year-old MICHELLE ANN ROBERTS (pictured).


Officers responded to a house in the 400 block of 3rd Street in east Toledo from which ROBERTS had been evicted. She left without taking her dogs and when officers arrived at the home, they found two live Pitbulls and a deceased Pitbull puppy in a bedroom upstairs.


Officers found the live Pitbulls in cages with garbage piled on top of them, hiding them from sight. The furvictims had no food or water and it appeared they had been abandoned for several days due to the condition they were in.


Officers reported that the three dogs’ rib bones were visible and it appeared that the puppy had starved to death.


ROBERTS was taken into custody on April 11, 2025, and was charged with one count of cruelty to animals. Online arrest records show she was released from the Lucas County Jail on a $1,500 bond.

I took the liberty of naming the deceased puppy Cloud, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

ERIC IVAN ROLDAN arrested for fracturing a puppy’s head by slamming her to the ground and stomping on her

- Florida, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find distressing⚠️


The Live Oak Police Department arrested 45-year-old ERIC IVAN ROLDAN (pictured), on March 31, 2025, after he was witnessed mercilessly abusing a defenseless puppy.


Officers responded to the Boys Ranch neighborhood in Live Oak where they found a neighbor who was holding a puppy in her arms.

Officers noticed that the pup, a 10-week-old female weighing about 10lbs, was bleeding from her nose and ears, had swollen eyes, and multiple cuts around her ear. They also noticed a blanket that had blood on it.


Patrol Officer Williams reported: “Once we arrived, we saw the victim standing at the intersection holding a small puppy that was sitting on top of a bloody pillow. I immediately noticed that the dog was bleeding from the ear, both of its eyes were swollen shut and that it was groaning and yelping every time it was moved.”


Officers immediately rushed the furvictim to a local veterinarian where she was examined and vets determined that she had a skull fracture as well as severe head and skull swelling.


The neighbor identified ROLDAN as the individual responsible for abusing the puppy. According to the officers, the neighbor witnessed ROLDAN “wrapping the puppy in a blanket and then simultaneously kicking, stomping, and slamming the puppy against the ground.”


After ROLDAN was interviewed, he was placed under arrest and booked into the Suwannee County Jail on felony animal cruelty charges. At the time of writing, records show no bond was set.


The nonprofit Livin’ Like Larry Farm Sanctuary stepped in to care for the furvictim and dubbed her Sweetpea.

The organization has shared updates and pictures of Sweetpea which I have added to the gallery below.


At some point, when Sweetpea’s conditions worsened, she was taken to Oviedo Veterinary Hospital.

In a recent post, Livin’ Like Larry Farm Sanctuary wrote: “Her CT scans reveal severe injuries, including a detached eye, skull fractures, and brain swelling. She remains in a medically induced coma to give her body time to heal. Despite everything, she is stable, breathing on her own, and showing signs of resilience. Her veterinarians believe she has a chance at recovery, but she will need extensive medical care, including future surgeries to repair her skull. She faces a long road ahead, including surgeries and ongoing treatment.”


As you can imagine, Sweetpea’s medical care is going to be very expensive. As stated by Livin’ Like Larry Farm Sanctuary, “Her medical bills are already estimated at $6,400 and climbing”, so if you wish and can afford to donate, please click here. If you cannot donate, please pray for Sweetpea or send her pawsitive thoughts. Thank you!
