Last week, Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), in coordination with the ASPCA, rescued more than 40 Belgian Malinois-mixes from inside a Queens apartment where they were living in extremely unsanitary and overcrowded conditions.
The dogs — ranging from young puppies to fully-grown adults — had allegedly never been outside before their rescue. Some were discovered inside closets and cupboards or packed into tight spaces with no access to fresh air or sunlight.
Many of the rescued dogs in ACC’s care have been placed with shelter and rescue partners for fostering and eventual adoption. Several of the dogs were placed in an ASPCA facility and are currently receiving medical and behavioral care.
This case required a strong collaborative effort to bring these dogs to safety, and we’re grateful they are now receiving the medical and behavioral care they need. An arrest has been made on charges of cruelty to animals, and in addition to providing ongoing care for several of the dogs, our teams are also supporting the NYPD and the Queens DA’s Office in their prosecution of this case.
