Anneliza Marie Granillo went before Yuma County Superior Court last Friday, May 4, in an effort to reduce her sentence and restitution.

"The judge heard both parties, and we feel really great with how the trial went," said Annette Lagunas, Humane Society of Yuma director of operations.

Lagunas said Granillo's sentencing was continued until next Friday.

Granillo was arrested Feb. 1 on two Class 6 felony counts for cruel mistreatment, neglect and abandonment of an animal for allegedly not providing proper care and nutrition for her dog.

She pleaded guilty to one of the charges, was sentenced to six months in jail and ordered to pay restitution.

Case Updates

Anneliza Marie Granillo received one year in jail for not providing proper care and nutrition for her dog, a 1-year-old pit bull mix that had to be euthanized because of her mistreatment, according to a Humane Society of Yuma official. Granillo was sentenced in Yuma County Superior Court on Friday to begin serving her prison sentence that same day, according to Annette Lagunas, Humane Society of Yuma director of operations.

Lagunas said she was present during the court hearing. A call to the Yuma County Attorney's Office to confirm the sentencing was not returned Friday afternoon.

"I think justice has been served on the puppy for the pain and suffering it went through, so we're very happy with it," Lagunas said.

Granillo was arrested Feb. 1 on two Class 6 felony counts of cruel mistreatment, neglect and abandonment of an animal.

The Sun was unable to confirm by Friday afternoon the final charges in the case.

On Jan. 16, two people turned in the pit bull they found roaming a trailer park at 1947 S. Maple Ave. The owner resided in the park, and the dog had a history of roaming. A neighbor noticed the unhealthy nature of the animal and reported it to park management.

On Jan. 17, the humane society transported the dog to Desert Veterinary Clinic. The dog was found to weigh only 11 pounds - roughly 20 pounds less than it should have, according to a Humane Society of Yuma news release.

The clinic found the animal was severely malnourished, suffering a liver disorder, anemic and possibly frostbitten on its ears from being in the cold with no shelter. The clinic tried to help the dog regain its strength, but it was too weak to fight, according to the release.
