Saratoga County, Animal Abuse

Another disturbing news story about horrible animal neglect, and this one comes from Saratoga County.  Last week it was reported a 27-year-old Ballston Spa resident was arrested when police learned that she was starving and torturing three dogs on her property.

"My department takes all complaints involving animals with the utmost sincerity. I am grateful to know that these dogs are now receiving the care they deserve and pray for their complete recovery."  Sheriff Zurlo, Saratoga County Sheriff's Dept.

Torturing and Starving 3 Dogs

According to a report from News 10 ABC, Alexis L. Hagadorn-Garmley was charged with the misdemeanor of "overdriving, torturing, and injuring animals, as well as failure to provide proper sustenance."  The dogs were taken to the Saratoga County Animal Shelter where they are currently receiving medical care and some much-needed TLC.
