Salina animal shelter managers are set for trial after an arraignment hearing on Monday.

According to the Saline County Attorney's office, the results of the arraignment hearing on Monday morning set managers, Andrea Murphy and Monique Hawley for trial.

No exact date was given, but County Attorney John Reynolds told Salina Post, sometime in September 2026.

Murphy and Hawley are facing three misdemeanor charges of Animal Cruelty, related to a December 2025 incident where three puppies with parvovirus were euthanized.

Both were charged by Reynolds back on April, due to the reported euthanasia procedures on the puppies.

Salina Post will provide more updates and specifics on this ongoing case.
