A Genesee County couple has been charged with abandoning/cruelty to 25 or more animals, a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison, and a misdemeanor for failing to properly dispose of dead animals. The charges stem from a complaint received by Genese County Animal Control in February that the home had more than 60 pets rescued, including an additional 26 dogs and one cat found dead. Kim Mitchell Shires was found hiding at a hotel in Indiana and is awaiting extradition to GenesEE County. The couple's bond is set at $150,000.
