Denise Withee has plead 'not guilty' to three counts of cruel neglect of animals.
With each count, Withee faces up to 5 years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
The charges stem from an August 1st incident, where 23 dogs were found dead or dying in a Grand Island cornfield.
Authorities linked the dogs to Withee through a microchip found in one of the animals.
Withee appeared for an arraignment in Hall County District Court Tuesday.
A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for January 28.
Her bond was continued.
