A 54-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with 84 counts of aggravated animal cruelty after deputies found 50 cats and 34 dogs roaming free inside her mobile home Thursday morning, according to the Suwannee County Sheriff's Office.
The Suwannee County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division along with a deputy from the sheriff's office were called to the 16400 block of 77th Road in reference to animal neglect at the home of Jennifer Ann Dyviniak.
When they arrived, authorities said they smelled a strong odor of animal urine from a small mobile home. After entering, they found 50 cats and 34 dogs roaming free with animal feces scattered everywhere, deputies said.
Deputies said Dyviniak had previously surrendered about 30 animals to Animal Control voluntarily. The animals were in various stages of neglect caused by their living situation and had gone through unnecessary pain and suffering, deputies said.
Most of the animals taken from her home were malnourished and are being treated at the Suwannee County Animal Shelter.
Dyviniak was arrested and charged with 84 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and is in the Suwannee County Jail.
