""No animal should ever have to suffer because of neglect or indifference. Keeping dogs in filthy conditions without adequate food or water is against the law, and our Animal Crimes Unit takes these cases very seriously," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. "I am grateful to the ASPCA for the compassionate care they are providing to these dogs and for their continued assistance as this investigation proceeds.""
"NYPD officers discovered more than 15 puppies and several adult Pomeranians crammed into a filthy, stench-filled Greenpoint apartment, living amid their own waste with no immediate access to food or water. At the request of the NYPD and Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, all 23 dogs were taken to a local ASPCA facility, where they received overnight veterinary care at partner clinics before being transported Sunday to a Manhattan site for forensic exams, medical and behavioral assessments and treatment."
Twenty-three Pomeranians, including more than 15 puppies, were found living amid their own feces and urine in a Greenpoint apartment with no immediate access to food or water. Police charged 33-year-old Mohamed Charrad with multiple counts related to torturing, injuring, and failing to provide sustenance to animals. At the NYPD and Brooklyn District Attorney's Office request, all dogs were taken to an ASPCA facility for overnight veterinary care, then transported to Manhattan for forensic, medical, and behavioral assessments. The ASPCA is aiding the criminal investigation and moving many dogs to its Recovery & Rehabilitation Center in Pawling for specialized care.
