A judge has issued a ruling in regards to a petition made by April McLaughlin to get some of her seized dogs back. McLaughlin, who operated an animal rescue operation, was at the center of various animal abuse incidents that shocked people in the Valley.
April McLaughlin initially requested 47 dogs back into her custody. However, McLaughlin, who went by the number of "Sydney McKinley" during the hearing, changed her initial request during the court hearing, and asked to have 13 dogs returned to her instead, telling the presiding judge that she went over the list of dogs with Chandler Police a week ago, and identified 13 dogs that she considered as ‘personal family dogs.
It should be noted that as of now, there are no pending charges against McLaughlin, as officials with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office have sent the case back to Chandler Police for further investigation. "I don’t know what she could possibly say to argue the evidence that has been found," Arizmendi said. "The only thing that I could imagine that she could say is that perhaps she feels or believes that she somehow was providing the care that these dogs needed, but I think it’s pretty evident that based on the environmental report and what president CEO Steven Hansen said from the Arizona Humane Society that that was not the case.
