A West Palm Beach woman is facing animal cruelty charges after officials said they found an emaciated pit bull in her backyard.
But Yolanda Williams, 43, who was arrested on Thursday, said she did not hurt her pit bull, and her dog's appearance was because the dog was ill.
Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control officials said they got a complaint in July about a dog that was left out in the rain on a tether. The caller said the dog looked very thin and that the dog was outside at all hours of they day.
Officials went to investigate at Williams' house, located in the 900 block of 36th Street in West Palm Beach, and found her six-year-old pit bull, Diamond, who appeared to be very emaciated, according to a report.
Williams told officials she and her dog moved to the house a year ago, and ever since the move the dog was getting sicker and sicker. She said in an interview Friday that she wasn't able to afford to take her dog to the vet. She tried to nurse the dog back to health on her own, but was unsuccessful.
