Glamorous daughter is arrested after dementia-stricken mom is mauled to death by her 54 pet dogs

A woman in Southern Colorado was arrested after her 54 dogs allegedly mauled her dementia-stricken elderly mother to death. 

Jessica Hoff, 47, has been arrested and charged with criminal negligence resulting in death and 54 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, following the gruesome death of her mother LaVonne Hoff, 76. 

Hoff allegedly left LaVonne home alone with Hoff's dogs during the day while she ran errands. 

Her mother was later found unresponsive by law enforcement on February 3. 

Pueblo County Sheriff's Office responded to a call to Hoff's home at 5.30pm and found 'several dogs loose inside the home along with at least a dozen more dogs in cages.' 

LaVonne Hoff's autopsy revealed her death was a result of a dog attack, sheriffs said in a press release. 

Sheriffs added that LaVonne reportedly had dementia and required 24-hour care. 

Detectives learned that while LaVonne Hoff was left alone, she was attacked by the dogs that were loose in the home, sheriffs said. 

The investigation led to the search of the home and another property Hoff owned in Colorado City, finding a total of 54 dogs and seven birds in her possession. 

'The dogs and birds were found living in unsanitary conditions and several of the dogs were in poor health,' the release said. 

The animals were seized by the Sheriff's Office who worked with Animal Law Enforcement. 

Hoff is currently being held in Pueblo County Jail on a $50,000 bond, according to online jail records. 

She is scheduled for her initial court appearance on March 27, according to court records.
