A family pet owner in New York was implicated of animal cruelty, however 4 months later on she still has actually not been charged or has any concept what she did incorrect — and still isn’t enabled to see her precious dogs.
Rebecca Klein says she was unjustly implicated while looking after her own family pets. Her 2 pups — Lily, a psychological assistance animal, and Max — were taken by the Hudson Valley Humane Society while the group performed a search warrant.
“I didn’t do anything to hurt them. They were the best thing that ever happened to me,” said Klein, who sobbed as she consulted with the I-Team.
She has actually not been enabled to see them because that day. The president of the Humane Society informed NBC New York there is no conclusive procedure when they take animals and it might use up to 2 years to submit charges.
“You’re not seeing everything. Trust us, we are. We don’t get a warrant lightly,” said Hudson Valley Humane Society President AnnMarie Gaudio.
What’s not in conflict is that Max got loose in Nov. 2022 and broke his leg after being struck by a car. Klein recorded sees to centers and vets. As a signed up nurse, she says she selected a splint instead of costly surgical treatment — suggesting one veterinarian desired $8,000.
“I opted to do the splint because I myself had surgery and I suffer from other problems, complications… I don’t think I was negligent,” said Klein. “I don’t think I did anything that should be looked at as negligent. I was definitely on top of it.”
Her ex-husband lives in the exact same Rockland County home and says she loves the dogs.
“When I think of animal cruelty, I think of dogs sitting out in the winter like those commercials when they try and raise money for the humane society,” said Robert Klein. “Rebecca is the opposite. This woman loves animals.”

But obviously somebody disagreed and flagged the Humane Society, which took both dogs. Lily, who was pregnant at the time, brought to life 7 puppies at the shelter.
So why did the Humane Society feel it was required to take both dogs, although they declare that Max was the one maltreated? Gaudio said that “for her safety, we took Lily.” She likewise said there is more than satisfies the eye with this case.
“When you learn what happened in this case, you’ll be aghast,” Gaudio informed NBC New York.
Klein’s next door next-door neighbor, a certified therapist, said she went to the Humane Society and offered to foster the dogs. Her kids frequently had fun with them.
“I was threatened that I was going to be arrested if I didn’t get off the property,” said Miriam Sultan. ”Why not leave the dogs with me and my kids if we’re willing to take them in. Especially due to the fact that they understand us.”
But the animal group wasn’t hearing any of it, and stays unsympathetic.
“It’s just another way to get the dog and give it to her — we’re not going to do that at this juncture,” said Gaudio, including that she anticipates criminal charges to be submitted in the next numerous days.
Meanwhile, Klein is still awaiting responses regarding what she did incorrect.
”You wish to reveal me what I did that was incorrect? I want to listen. I’m standing simple prior to these individuals. They have my dogs,” she said. “I’m lost here. If I did something wrong, I am sorry. If I did something, it wasn’t malice. Just tell me what I have to do to get my dogs.”
