The Van Wert woman sentenced to 6 months in jail for animal cruelty in Van Wert may face additional jail time for allegedly violating the terms of her probation. 36 year old Brittany Baldauf was accused of severely mistreating 7 dogs earlier this year. Baldauf was sentenced recently to 2 90 day terms in jail for misdemeanor charges of cruelty to animals. As part of the sentence, Baldauf is forbidden to own a companion animal for five years, the length of probation. When probation officers went to her residence for a home visit on Thursday, three dogs were discovered at the residence, and Baldauf was taken to jail for violating probation. All 7 of the dogs have since recovered and have adopted by others according to the Van Wert humane society.
