Orlik was fined £120 and ordered to pay £310 for prosecution costs and £34 to fund victim services.
She must also pay £500 to Greater Manchester Police.
Magistrates decided not to ban Orlik from keeping dogs, after hearing she lives between her mother’s and grandmothers’ homes and they both have dogs, which she helps to care for, so would have to find alternative accommodation.
