CHARITY MICHELLE WALL and JOSEPH KYLE JONES facing nine felony counts of animal cruelty

- North Carolina, USA -


A call about an aggressive dog led to the arrest of 33-years-old CHARITY MICHELLE WALL and 32-years-old JOSEPH KYLE JONES (both pictured).


In a news release, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said that on July 12, 2023, deputies assisted Randolph County Animal Services with a report about an aggressive dog at a property on Searcy Road Extension.


Outside the residence, responding officers found abandoned malnourished dogs. The sheriff’s office did not disclose the number of dogs but said that two of them were sadly found dead.


The reporting party also told officers that inside the home there were multiple dogs unsupervised.


Officers were able to make contact with the homeowners, WALL and JONES, who allowed them to enter the property. Once inside, officers found a mother dog with her puppies and sadly, two of them were found lifeless.

The sheriff’s office has not shared any additional information about all the furvictims involved in this case.


After an investigation determined that WALL and JONES were the current residents of the property, as well as the dogs’ guardians, charges were sought against them for nine felony counts of cruelty to animals. The magistrate found probable cause and issued arrest warrants for WALL and JONES.

The pair were placed under arrest on July 19, 2023, and transported to Randolph County Detention Center. WALLS was issued a $10,000 secured bond while JONES was hit with a $20,000 secured bond. At this time of writing, records show they are still in custody.


According to online court records, WALL and JONES are scheduled to appear at Randolph County District Court on the morning of Tuesday, August 8, 2023.

MONICA ORTEGA arrested - Accused of leaving five dogs in poor condition

- Kentucky, USA -


On July 17, 2023, 38-years-old MONICA ORTEGA (pictured) was arrested for failing to properly care for her five dogs.


According to the criminal complaint obtained by Voice For Us, on December 12, 2022, Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) responded to a Louisville residence to investigate a report about dogs who were being kept in a garage and not being properly cared for.


The complaint stated that LMAS Officer Ratliff called ORTEGA to the property, “she took ownership of the dogs” and was issued “a violation to get the dogs licensed.”


On January 18, 2023, LMAS returned to the property to conduct a follow up and reported that “the dogs appeared leaner and the floor of the garage was covered in feces, urine and debris.”

Officer Ratliff learned that ORTEGA had provided limited care to the dogs as she was “coming and going from the home.”


On February 24, 2023, Officer Clark went to the home to find out that ORTEGA had moved out leaving behind all five furbabies in poor condition. In the meantime, one of the dogs gave birth to six puppies. Officer Clark’s attempt to contact ORTEGA by phone was unsuccessful.


On March 13, 2023, Animal Control Lieutenant Forner went to the property “to document conditions and discuss impoundment of the dogs”, stated the complaint.

Lt. Forner found dogs and puppies “blocked off into a section of the garage that had feces, urine and trash throughout the space.” The mother of the puppies was found emaciated. There was a bowl of water and according to the complaint, “LMAS provided dog food for the family living in the residence.”


Two days later, on March 15, 2023, the puppies and their mom were removed and a reclaiming notice was posted at the residence.


On April 18, 2023, the remaining Voiceless Victims were also FINALLY removed!


The complaint, dated May 11, 2023, stated: “As of today's date, deft has not contacted LMAS nor has she reclaimed any of her pets.”


ORTEGA was arrested on July 17, 2023, and at this time of writing records show she is still in custody.


I have emailed LMAS and requested additional information about the furvictims. If I receive a response, I will post an update.


I wonder why it took so long to remove the dogs and why between December 12, 2022, and February 24, 2023, no one noticed the pregnant dog!

ORETGA is not the only one who failed the Voiceless Victims!

EYRINA JACQUELINE BUENO charged with misdemeanors for not caring for her dogs - One was euthanized

- Illinois, USA -


DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick announced that 34-years-old EYRINA JACQUELINE BUENO (pictured), is facing fourteen (14) misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, and three (3) misdemeanor counts of violation of owner’s duties, in reference to an investigation into the welfare of twelve dogs in her care.


Additionally, BUENO is facing one (1) misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals and three (3) misdemeanor counts of violation of owner’s duties in connection with the welfare of a 5-year-old female American Bulldog named Climax in her care.


According to a news release by the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, on March 19, 2023, Climax suffered a burst mammary tumor but BUENO waited until the afternoon of March 21, 2023, to take the furbaby to the vet. Climax “was unable to walk due to actively suffering from emaciation” stated the release. The release went on to say that the vet advised BUENO that “the most humane care for Climax would be euthanasia due to her suffering from the burst mammary tumor, multiple untreated tumors, starvation, malnutrition, severe muscle loss, and severe arthritis.”


Following an investigation into Climax’s condition, authorities executed a search warrant at BUENO’s home in the 25W400 block of Lake Street in Roselle on May 25, 2023.

The search led to the discovery and removal of a total of twelve (12) dogs. Officials found one (1) adult Doberman, four (4) American Bulldog puppies, and seven (7) adult American Bulldogs all living in inhumane conditions.

The adult dogs ranged in age from two to nine years old while the puppies were approximately two months old.


All the Voiceless Victims were in inadequate medical condition with some “suffering punctures in the face, moderate to severe Moth-Eaten Alopecia (hair loss), heartworm, worn-down teeth, respiratory distress, skin infections, bladder stones, and bacterial infections” stated the release. Furthermore, at least of one the puppies had their ears cropped by “someone other than a medical professional.”

All twelve furbabies are at DuPage County Animal Care and Control and are receiving the medical attention they need and deserve.


DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement: “As with every case that comes through my office, charging decisions are based on the evidence and the law. Had the evidence and law supported felony charges, my office would have charged Mrs. Bueno accordingly.”


BUENO’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 19, 2023, for status in front of Judge Jill Otte.
