SAN ANGELO (June 20, 2009)—A judge in Tom Green County has sentenced a San Angelo woman to a year in jail after finding her guilty of animal cruelty for the treatment of 69 dogs and puppies that were taken from her home last year.

The dogs were seized from the home of Brenda Luellen, also known as Brenda Kenney.

Luellen was cited this year for health violations and 59 dogs were removed from her home.

County Court-at-Law No. 2 Judge Penny Roberts ordered Luellen to pay more than $18,000 in restitution, which covered the care of the animals seized last year.

A volunteer with a Georgia-based rescue operation testified the animals had eye infections and fur matted with feces and urine.

Luellen said she had cared for dogs that were near death and helped them recover.

She has 30 days to appeal the judge's decision.
