Leslie Ann Torres, 34, faces charges after 11 dogs were removed from her Lake Worth home, BocaNewsNow reported September 19, citing a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office affidavit.
The report identifies seven counts of aggravated animal cruelty and four counts of animal abandonment. It says Torres was arrested Wednesday, September 16, and later released on bond. The allegations have not been proven in court.
Removal preceded the arrest
Deputies found the dogs during an unrelated August 22 visit and called Animal Care and Control. A veterinarian documented neglect and health problems, according to the affidavit as described by BocaNewsNow.
Torres surrendered the dogs, the report says. It does not establish their current medical condition or adoption availability. The September arrest and the August removal are separate steps in the same investigation.
