A southern Washington County woman has been arrested on 60 counts of animal cruelty.

Sharron Lee Adams is facing the charges after deputies responded Wednesday to a residence in the 40000 block of North 3944 Road. According to Undersheriff Jon Copeland, deputies observed several malnourished dogs who were infested with fleas and covered in feces.

Upon entering the residence, deputies observed shocking conditions with more malnourished, sick dogs and feces all over the home. Deputies also discovered two deceased cats outside and five additional deceased cats in a freezer.

The surviving dogs were rescued by the Oklahoma Animal Alliance. Adams was arrested at the scene.

Adams will appear in Washington County District Court today (Thursday) at 1:15 p.m. facing the 60 counts of animal cruelty.

This is an arrest, not a conviction.
