Three people charged in a massive animal cruelty case in Jackson County entered Alford pleas Monday.

That means Shawn Embs, Tim Foust-Robbins, and Aimee Foust do not admit guilt, but acknowledge there's enough evidence to convict them.

They were arrested in March after police found more than a hundred dogs in filthy conditions at a home near McKee.

Some of the dogs died.

The judge gave Shawn Embs 30 days in jail, while Aimee Foust and Tim Foust-Robbins got home incarceration, followed by probation.

The three also cannot have pets for two years.

Just a shame that a slap on the hand is all they get.

Lex1976, I agree. Home incarceration? What a joke. They deserve alot more that they got. And no pets for 2 years? Should be never again. I hope someone will be checking on this to make sure she doesn't "rescue" anymore poor dogs. And I hope if their neighbors see them with any animals they call the police on them.
