This woman was charged with unnecessary cruelty to animals and two counts of failing to provide adequate veterinary care.



A woman from Tiverton, Rhode Island, is now facing felony animal abuse charges after two dogs were found severely neglected outside of her home. The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to the woman’s home after a local animal control officer was very suspicious of abuse.




When the officers arrived, they found two Pit Bulls who were in horrible condition. One of the Pit Bulls, an eight-year-old male named Remy, was severely emaciated with all of his bones poking out, and he had zero fat or muscle mass on him at all. The other Pit Bull was a five-year-old named Beni who was also very malnourished and had a large tumor on the back of her leg that never received medical treatment.



The RISPCA immediately seized both Pit Bulls and brought them to an emergency vet for proper medical attention. The Pit Bulls owner 30-year-old Amanda Medeiros, has since been charged with one count of unnecessary cruelty to animals and two counts of failing to provide adequate veterinary care.
