An 18-year-old Greeley woman is facing an animal cruelty charge after police said she confessed to killing her puppy.
About 6:45 p.m. July 11, Greeley police responded to an animal cruelty call in the 3800 block of 29th Street where two sisters lived together. At the scene, an officer contacted a woman who said her sister's pitbull puppy was missing when she arrived home from work.
The woman's sister, 18-year-old Vianey Contreras-Villalobos, admitted to killing the puppy and tossing the remains in a dumpster when confronted, according to the affidavit for Contreras-Villalobos's arrest.
Upon finding the puppy's remains, the officer noted the puppy suffered significant trauma and cruelty.
Contreras-Villalobos further admitted she choked the puppy because she lost her temper and was angry with the dog, the affidavit said.
The officer booked Contreras-Villalobos into the Weld County Jail on an aggravated animal cruelty charge. She posted a $10,000 bond on July 12, according to online records.
She has an advisement hearing 9 a.m. Sept. 25.
