March 2026 – Shannon McMahon (43) was detained in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and brought back to Putnam County on March 4 for failure to register with the county’s Animal Cruelty Registry. The outlet reports the charge traces back to a 2024 neglect case involving her dog Abby, who was found severely emaciated, and that SPCA detectives say McMahon missed a January 2026 re-registration deadline and failed to update required information after pleading guilty last year.
