Investigators Probe Deaths of 21 Dogs at Upstate New York Boarding Facility
Owners Robert and Anastasia Palulis face 22 misdemeanor charges after 21 dogs died due to inadequate water and ventilation at their Argyle boarding facility, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Washington County Sheriff's Department launched an investigation after 21 dogs were found dead and one was taken for emergency care at Anastasia's Acres Dog Boarding in Argyle.
- Investigators allege facility owners Robert and Anastasia Palulis failed to provide adequate water and ventilation, disputing Anastasia's Acres Dog Cottage's claim of being `climate controlled`.
- Hannah Elmore said her family dropped off 3-year-old Piglet on Friday and later "brought her home, and then we buried her in the backyard."
- Authorities charged the facility owners with 22 counts each of overdriving, torturing, injuring animals and failure to provide proper sustenance; Robert Palulis, 48, and Anastasia Palulis, 38, were released on appearance tickets to appear in Argyle Town Court.
- The investigation remains active and a veterinarian and Town of Argyle Animal Control assisted investigators, with Anastasia's Acres social media and website taken down as of Tuesday.
