ARGYLE, N.Y. (AP) — The owners of an upstate New York dog
boarding facility where 21 dogs were recently found dead are now
facing more than 20 misdemeanor counts.
Local law enforcement officials announced the charges Tuesday,
saying their investigation determined the owners of Anastasia’s
Acres Dog Boarding Facility in Argyle, about 57 miles (92.4
kilometers) north of Albany, failed to provide adequate water
and proper ventilation for the dogs. The dogs were found dead
Sunday. Another dog found there that day is now under a
veterinarian’s care, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office
said.
The owners face 22 misdemeanor counts related to their failure
to care for the animals, authorities said. Their case will be
heard in municipal court.
The facility’s phone rang unanswered on Tuesday, and it has not
responded to emails seeking comment on the matter. A notice
posted this week on its social media accounts said it would be
closed until further notice.
