WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Winchester woman faces a misdemeanor charge of second-degree cruelty to animals after animal care and control officers say she returned her adopted pit bull mix in a severely malnourished condition to the Lexington Humane Society.

Lt. Jai Hamilton with Lexington-Fayette County Animal Care and Control worked with the Clark County Attorney's office to get a criminal complaint for 24-year-old Taylor Glover.

Glover's dog, Ayla, originally known as Raisin was returned in October, a year after the dog was adopted.
