Columbia woman charged with multiple counts of animal abuse


After police found six dogs, including five puppies, living in unsanitary conditions on the side porch of a condemned home in Lancaster County, Amanda Kinnard, 38, of Columbia was arrested and charged with multiple counts of animal abuse. 

According to online court records, Kinnard is facing six counts each of neglect of animals - vet care, cruelty to animals, and neglect of animals - shelter/protection. 

Kinnard's mother, Tammy, contacted Katherine Hogan, a Humane Society Police Officer with the Pennsylvania SPCA, on September 18, 2023, to report that Kinnard had acquired five pitbull puppies. This incident occurred after Hogan had previously seized three dogs from Kinnard's residence on South 8th Street in May 2023, as detailed in the affidavit.
