Following up on a Yucca Valley animal cruelty case from July, the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Station is seeking the owners of animals recovered from Leslie McMillan’s Yucca Valley residence. McMillan was arrested on July 15 on suspicion of animal cruelty and neglect. Sheriff’s Deputies say that McMillan kept the seven horses, 30 dogs, 15 cats, and 20 Guinea pigs on her property in the 8000 block Warren Vista, and that they tried to assist her in placing the animals in rescues and shelters, but she refused.
Sheriff’s deputies and the San Bernardino Rural Crimes Task Force served a search warrant at the home and removed the animals, many of whom were suffering from neglect and malnutrition. Now, three months later, the owners of these animals, particularly the horses and dogs, who may have been passed to McMillan as part of a boarding arrangement, are being sought.
If you or someone you know can claim ownership of these animals, please contact Detective Ables at the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Station at 760-366-4175
