Dog found living in feces and garbage, Canandaigua man arrested
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A Canandaigua man has been charged with animal cruelty after deputies say a dog was found in poor living conditions.
On March 15, the Ontario County Sheriff's Office assisted in an animal neglect investigation after a dog named Louie was found wandering around Brickyard Road without an owner.
Louie, a 12-year-old Jack Russel-type dog, was seen walking towards an open door at a home on Brickyard Road. Deputies said they followed Louie and saw garbage and feces in the entranceway. A neighbor told deputies the owner had not been seen for weeks.
Deputies described the home as having a putrid odor due to the feces and garbage.
Louie was seized by the Ontario County Humane Society, gave him a clean kennel, and evaluated him — they said his toenails were overgrown and made it uncomfortable for him to walk.
On March 20, the Ontario County Sheriff's Office identified 61-year-old Dennis Keyser as Louie's owner and the homeowner. He was arrested and charged with animal cruelty/neglect.
Keyser will appear in Canandaigua Town Court at a later date. Louie will remain at the Humane Society's shelter as the case is adjudicated.

Perry Police arrest woman for allowing her child to eat cannabis brownie
PERRY, N.Y. (WROC) – A Perry man was arrested after officers with the Perry Police Department received reports of a domestic incident in Perry on Covington Street last month. Officers say the incident took place during a party between 44-year-old Bobbie Ellis, 444, a man, and a child the two have in common. During the investigation, officers say Ellis provided and allowed her child, who's a minor, to consume a cannabis brownie and that Ellis was growing her own cannabis and 'had more plants than what is allowed by New York State Law governing the private ownership, cultivating, and harvesting of cannabis for private consumption.' Officers say when Ellis arrived to Perry Village Court for another matter on June 10, she was taken into custody and charged with endangering the welfare of a child for providing and allowing her child to consume a cannabis brownie. Officers also charged Ellis with cultivating more than six mature cannabis plants and six immature cannabis plants for a total of 12 plants. While investigating officers learned Ellis was in possession of 21 immature cannabis plants which were seized and disposed of by the Perry Police Department. Ellis was processed by Perry Police and returned to Perry Village Court where she was arraigned and released on her own recognizance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Take action:' Lifespan highlights World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Friday marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is aimed at raising awareness and taking action to prevent elder abuse and neglect. Lifespan of Greater Rochester president and CEO Ann Marie Cook announced Friday the nonprofit has achieved nearly $7 million, across upstate New York, in court-ordered restitution for victims of financial exploitation, which is recognized as the most common form of elder abuse. In 2012, Lifespan introduced working teams made up of members of law enforcement, forensic and financial experts, district attorneys, and health care says much of their latest caseloads have revolved around the recent surge in scams. 'I cannot begin to tell you how our cases and scams have quadrupled. Really, maybe more,' said Cook, 'It is a trend we're seeing and these teams have just started to take up those cases in addition to traditional elder abuse cases. The harm to them in terms of those cases is just as great as the terms in traditional elder abuse.' Five seniors in Greece celebrate their 100th birthdays Monroe County Executive Adam Bello issued a proclamation to Lifespan, joining officials with a shared call on the community to help break the silence in what's described as a silent epidemic. 'Remember, you don't need a title or a badge to make a difference. You could be a friend, neighbor, or family member who sees or hears something that just doesn't feel quite right. We need everyone to recognize the signs of elder abuse and to know where to turn. Know the signs, know the resources, and take action,' said Kelly Zunner-Daniels, division leader for the Upstate Elder Abuse Center of Lifespan. Primary buildings across Monroe County and New York State will be lit in purple this weekend in light of raising awareness on elder abuse.
