A woman is facing animal cruelty charges after police said she abandoned five animals in a house in Milford.
Someone called police on July 27 to report the animals had been abandoned in the home at 92 Mayflower Place.
Officers found the animals, including two dogs who had to be euthanized because they were in such poor health.
The investigation led to the arrest of Temisa Fossett, 45, of Naugatuck. Fossett faces five counts of cruelty to animals. She was released on a promise to appear in court on September 6.
