A woman charged with animal mistreatment for selling puppies infected with a deadly virus pleads no contest to a lesser charge and receives a fine.
40-year-old Nicole L. Musick of Janesville pleaded no contest to selling a dog without documentation of health requirements last week in Rock County Court. She was fined $330.
According to the criminal complaint Musick sold two puppies to a Port Washington couple in 2018. One of them had to be euthanized because of complications from canine parvovirus.
The second puppy also had the virus, but it survived.
