DCSPCA Humane Law Enforcement Officers Jami Landry and Stephanie Fitzpatrick rescued six cats from a storage unit in the Town of Dover Nov. 7. The cats had allegedly been in the space for three days without food or water.
The owner of a neighboring unit notified the agency about the animals. The owner of the storage unit where the cats were found was charged with 18 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.
Below are two of the rescued kittens. All the cats will be available for adoption once their medical care has been completed.
On Nov. 9, Landry and Fitzpatrick responded to a report of a dead dog tied to a stake in a City of Poughkeepsie yard. There were heavy chains attached to the dog's collar. The dog likely died of starvation and exposure to extreme weather conditions.
The officers removed two emaciated pitbulls from the premises. They allegedly had multiple injuries and open wounds. The owner of the dogs was arrested and charged with four misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.
The dogs will remain at the shelter while they recover from their injuries.
