A woman who fostered 12 animals in a filthy house covered in faeces has been banned from keeping pets for three years.
Jaqueline Fraser Wade admitted to keeping five dogs and seven cats in the grim conditions at her home in Kilbirnie in North Ayrshire for three years. The 45-year-old was sentenced at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Monday, June 5.
The court heard how the shocking conditions came to light after a nearby resident complained to the SSPCA about a strong smell of urine coming from Wade's property. They also reported a significant amount of dog faeces spread across her garden.
