McBride was seeking a reward despite being found guilty of receiving stolen property.
James Howard Jackson, the gunman who shot and killed the dog walker, was sentenced to 21 years in prison for attempted murder, and McBride was cleared of accessory to attempted murder.
She said she had no idea the dogs were stolen and only took possession of them to ensure their safe return.
However, Michelle Hanisi, a Los Angeles County deputy district attorney, said there was clear evidence that she knew the two conspirators and knew they had been kidnapped in a brutal robbery.
In February, McBride sued Lady. Gaga is alleging breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation for failure to pay promised compensation.
She also sought $1.5 million in damages and additional unspecified damages in an eight-page complaint filed in County Superior Court Los Angeles. The court
McBride, who is serving two years of probation, sought damages because of the pain, suffering and mental anguish she said she suffered after the star refused to pay the reward.
Judge Holly Fujii took just 10 minutes to rule against McBride, 53, ruling she had “unclean hands” when she tried to claim the award.
