13 Dogs Rescued; Woman Charged with Animal Cruelty

On May 23rd, 2025, Officers were dispatched to the 400 Block of Union Texas Rd, to investigate a welfare concern of a resident and animals living inside the home. Upon arrival, Officers detected a horrendous smell outside the home and could see dogs in cages that were stacked on top of each other, visible from outside through windows. After being denied entry, Officers obtained a search warrant for the residence and the property. Once inside the residence, Officers recovered 13 dogs that were living in appalling conditions. Due to the Bossier parish animal control not having room for the dogs, we contacted the Webster Parish Sheriff's Office, asking them for assistance from their animal control. Sheriff Parker and his team were essential in assisting us in gathering, housing and caring for all the dogs over the weekend. Officers arrested the resident, Michele Massara on 13 counts of animal cruelty, who is currently being held on a $460,000 bond at the Bossier Maximum Facility.
