A judge fined the woman $1,000 for each of the counts and imposed a seven-year animal ban. Officials with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will check-up on woman periodically to make sure she is complying with the ban.
Haz-Mat crews were called in due to the extreme filth and hazardous living conditions.
None of the animals died. They have since been adopted and are said to be doing fine.
