PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A Pittsburgh woman will stand trial after police say she abandoned her partner's dog at a dumpster in the city's Knoxville section.
Jwanna Martin, 49, waived her right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday morning.
She is facing charges of animal cruelty and neglect.
Police say she dumped the dog, named Remy, at a dumpster outside of an apartment complex on Knox Avenue on a cold morning last December.
Police found the dog shivering in the cold with a dog crate on top of the dumpster.
The dog was taken in by Humane Animal Rescue and has since been adopted by a retired police officer.
Martin is due back in court on April 27.
