25-year-old Connie Eileen Schuneman is facing charges after a pit bull she was taking care of died from heat and lack of shelter.
Maricopa County sheriff's deputies arrested Schuneman on suspicion of animal abuse and she was booked into jail July 1 and released.
She doesn't have a lawyer yet and her next court appearance is scheduled for July 15.
Court records show Schuneman had been watching the dogs for her roommate when a deputy following up on an animal-abuse complaint found the dog's carcass on June 17.
A veterinarian examined the dog and determined it had been dead for 36 to 48 hours.
The cause of death was listed as heat and lack of shelter.
