Westmoreland County woman accused of neglecting her pets – WPXI

MONESSEN, Pa. – A Monessen woman is facing animal abuse charges.

Court documents show Park Manor maintenance workers were inspecting Nicole Anderson's apartment on Sept. 23 when they noticed the alleged abuse.

Anderson's border collie was underweight and was in a cage full of urine and feces. Court documents say no food or water was left for the dog.

Tenants also reportedly expressed concerns about the dog, saying it cried and whined all day and night.

Both the dog and Anderson's cat were taken for a veterinary examination, where it was determined that the dog's condition was severe enough to cause serious illness or death.

Anderson's cat had matted fur and fleas.

Anderson faces several charges, including aggravated animal cruelty.
