Anita Kathy Belaire, 60, was booked by the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office. Over the past several months, authorities have removed more than 100 dogs from her home. Back in March, St. Landry Parish Animal Control said the owner of the animals surrendered the majority of the animals from the recent raid under some conditions. âShe gave up 130+ breeding dogs, moms, and little males,â said director Terri Courvelle. âShe only surrendered those.â
