A DOG owner who is accused of neglecting her Staffordshire bull terrier will appear in court later this month.

Courtney Archer, of Roseberry Street, Stairfoot, was charged with three counts of animal cruelty following an investigation led by the RSPCA.

The dog, Sheba, was found to have skin and ear issues which the 26-year-old had failed to address.

Archer will appear at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on November 18.
