The video clip says that Elizabeth Smock appeared on an episode of Animal Planet's tv show "Confessions: Animal Hoarding- Germaphobe With 22 Cats".

Kenzie, a pit bull mix, is at the center of the case after she was found emaciated and malnourished.

“The condition of her along with the vet report was decided state law had been broken,” said Officer Finkbeiner.

Nearly three months later, Kenzie is ready to be adopted from the Animal Welfare League, but Smock must still got to court to face charges.

The dog has since recovered
