One Golden Retriever had to be euthanized due to untreated parasites, and thirteen dogs suffered from intestinal parasites or heat distress. Martin, who ran a rescue called K9 Paws Rescue, also allegedly dumped a microchipped dog’s body in Irvine, which died from heat stroke. She’s pleaded not guilty and was released on strict bail conditions barring her from any animals. Prosecutors are investigating whether her rescue was legitimate and properly registered, warning that animal abuse will not be tolerated—and if convicted, she could face over fifteen years in prison.
