ALLISON LYN GAISER accused of abandoning her dog at a Pennsylvania airport before flying to Mexico

- Pennsylvania, USA -


On Thursday, August 24, 2023, Allegheny County Police announced that animal cruelty charges, among others, have been filed against 44-years-old ALLISON LYN GAISER of Kittanning, Armstrong County, for abandoning her dog at Pittsburgh International Airport on August 4, 2023.


In a brief news release, police said, “Investigators determined Gaiser intentionally abandoned the dog near short-term parking before boarding a plane to a resort destination in Mexico.”


The furvictim, a male French Bulldog, was found by an Allegheny County police officer about 5:30 a.m. “sitting in the stroller outside the moving walkway enclosure next to glass exit doors in the short-term parking lot”, reports TRIB LIVE.

According to the news outlet, the dog was not restrained and under the stroller was a bowl with a bag of dog food inside, but there was no water.


The dog was microchipped and information identified the guardian as ALICIA GAISER with a couple of phone numbers. There were also a couple of emergency contacts but police’s attempts to contact them were unsuccessful.

Investigators were able to find GAISER’s Facebook account showing pictures of her with the dog she abandoned. After reviewing surveillance cameras, investigators learned that about 4:23 a.m. GAISER pushed the stroller with the dog in it as she entered the moving walkway from the long-term parking lot and then went to an airline ticket counter. After that, GAISER can be seen pushing the stroller with the dog inside back toward the moving walkway. Footage further showed GAISER heading to the spot where the dog was found and returning to the ticket counter without the furbaby.


GAISER returned from her trip on August 10, 2023, and police were at the airport waiting for her. According to police, GAISER admitted to leaving the dog. GAISER said she tried to take her dog with her but the airline wouldn’t allow him on the plane as he did not meet the criteria for an emotional support animal and did not have a proper kennel as required. GAISER went on to say that she made arrangements with her mother to pick up the dog from the airport and allowed police to review the text messages she exchanged with her mother. However, police said it was apparent that no immediate arrangement was made to pick up the dog.

Furthermore, GAISER’s mother told police that she only found out about her “grand doggie” being abandoned at the airport after her daughter’s ex-husband shared a news story about the dog being left at the airport.


Police said that the Voiceless Victim “is doing well and is still being fostered.”


GAISER is charged with “one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty, along with summary violations of animal cruelty, animal neglect and abandonment of animals by owner. These charges are being issued via summons”, said police.


GAISER’s preliminary hearing is slated to take place on October 16, 2023.


Animal Friends of Pittsburgh and the state dog warden assisted with the investigation.

ANDREA KEEN and BILLY C. KEEN arrested for hosting illegal cockfighting events on their farm

- Delaware, USA -


Delaware Animal Services (DAS), the enforcement unit within the Office of Animal Welfare, announced the arrest of 43-years-old ANDREA KEEN and her husband, 51-years-old BILLY C. KEEN (both pictured).


The couple, of Felton, were arraigned on August 18, 2023, in relation to a cockfighting incident that took place at their farm in May 2023.


According to a press release by DAS, on May 6, 2023, they received a report about an illegal cockfight in progress at a farm in the 3000 block of Sandtown Road in Felton and an animal welfare officer responded to investigate. Upon arrival, “the officer found an active cockfight taking place with a crowd of people in attendance. Attendees quickly fled the scene”, stated the press release.


DAS launched an investigation and obtained a search warrant for the property. From the investigation it emerged that husband and wife own the farm and “host illegal cockfighting events on the property.”


According to Steve Hindi, founder and president of the nonprofit SHARK (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness), a team of SHARK investigators used their drones to confirm an active illegal cockfighting at the KEENS’ farm.


A sign on the property names it as Three Cedars Farm “which claims to be a training track”, said Hindi. SHARK then alerted the Delaware State Police to the criminal operation and according to Hindi, “troopers were dispatched but they were waylaid by a shooting incident that left a single unarmed Animal Services officer to try to deal with the criminals which is not a good situation.”


Hindi further said that after SHARK shared video evidence with DAS, a search warrant was obtained and executed on the morning of Tuesday, May 16, 2023.


DAS said that husband and wife were each charged with one felony count of possessing an animal for the purpose of fighting. The wife was additionally charged with a one felony count of being present for animal fighting. After their arraignment the duo were released on their own recognizance and are expected back in court on August 25, 2023, for a preliminary hearing.


With regards to the KEENS, a video published by Steve Hindi advised that according to public records, “the owner of the property is a woman that has been employed by the Delaware department of Education since January 2022, as an Instructional Support Technician. Prior to her job at the Department of Education the property owner worked at the Delaware division of Public Health as a Clinic Manager. The division of Health includes ironically Animal Services. The property owner’s husband worked for the state of Delaware as a Department of Transportation Maintenance Area Supervisor.”


DAS ask anyone with information concerning this case to contact them at (302) - 255 - 4646. All tips may remain confidential.

CHRISTY AUFDEMORTE, Pike County dog groomer, accused of abusing dogs in her care while intoxicated

Updated: Aug 24, 2023

- Indiana, USA -


The Petersburg Police Department arrested 44-years-old CHRISTY AUFDEMORTE (pictured), owner of Doggie Styles Pet Grooming. AUFDEMORTE is accused of abusing dogs in her care at the business on 709 E. Main Street in Petersburg while intoxicated.

Police said in a brief statement that the arrest is the result of “a multi-week investigation, into multiple public complaints.”


44News reports that it all started in June when a 911 caller reported possible animal abuse at the grooming salon. The reporting party said they had been talking to AUFDEMORTE about working at Doggie Styles Pet Grooming and AUFDEMORTE asked them to come in right away.

Upon arrival at the facility, the reporting party saw several little dogs shaking and trembling, “and that Aufdemorte seemed to be drunk or under the influence of something”, reports 44News.


According to the reporting party, AUFDEMORTE was cursing at the dogs and was handling them in an abusive and rough manner.


As stated in court documents, on or about August 5, 2023, AUFDEMORTE “did knowingly or intentionally torture” a male Shih Tzu named Bo by shoving him from a grooming table multiple times and letting him hang from a noose-style tether, causing bulging eyes and drooling.

Court documents further state that AUFDEMORTE “did knowingly or intentionally abuse” Bo “by repeatedly striking the canine in and about the head with scissors.”


Bo’s guardian, Ms. Karla Martinez explained to WFIE she took Bo to Doggie Styles Pet Grooming Salon to be groomed and when she picked him up, he was acting strange. Ms. Martinez said: “I was holding him and he was nervous. Every time she would walk by him, he would growl and show his teeth and that’s not Bo.” Ms. Martinez added that Bo is still having trouble swallowing but he is doing better.


Court documents additionally stated that on or about August 8, 2023, AUFDEMORTE “did knowingly abuse” a dog in her care by allowing him/her to hang from a noose style tether causing him/her to choke. AUFDEMORTE then abused another dog by shoving him/her from a grooming table, “all while she was drinking and in an agitated state.”


When Police brought AUFDEMORTE in for questioning on Friday, August 11, 2023, she denied that any of the abuse occurred at her business.


Police said that AUFDEMORTE, who had been using the alias of CARRIE RUSSELL on Facebook, is facing one felony count of cruelty to an animal/torture and two misdemeanor counts of cruelty to an animal.


AUFDEMORTE is being held in the Pike County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

AUFDEMORTE is also facing criminal charges in Texas and California.
