Mora, Minnesota (WCCO) – Nine dogs were found dead and nine others were in a seriously neglected condition in a boarding and internal training plan in Minnesota.
The owner of the establishment now faces charges of animal torture after the deaths took place at his guard, the authorities said.
When Kayla Volk saved Buddy, she knew that her dog would have a long road to come.
“He is courageous when he is himself, when he is not afraid and anxious,” said Volk.
To give him a better start, Volk has enrolled him in an 8 -week home training program through well -made dogs, which is led by Moriah Krondak of her house in Mora.
“The day we have deposited it, communication has become a ghost,” recalls Volk.
Volk says that more than 40 days have passed without any update. It was until an identification call from the sheriff's office.
“They are like” ok, well, we're going to go to the house and see if it is alive “, said Volk. “I say to myself,” What are you talking about? ” And she had just given me an update a few days before. “”
According to court documents, a family came back from vacation to find that his dog had died in Krondak's care.
The dog showed signs of malnutrition, which caused the investigation.
Finally, a well-being check revealed dogs without food or water, while some were dead and others were put in place or attached.
In total, nine dogs were found dead and nine survived, including Buddy.
“I just cried. I said to myself: “It's not real,” said Volk. “I literally sent him here to help him, and now this lady has destroyed him even more.”
Buddy was discovered inside a kennel, covered with urine and excrement. He had lost 12 pounds and broke almost all his teeth.
“Why would you do this to an animal?” Asked Volk. “Do you have a heart?”
Investigators say Krondak was also tested positive for methamphetamine. She now faces 16 animal torture chiefs.
“We want to speak for animals that could not go out because a majority of these animals were rescue dogs, and it is not because they are rescue dogs and houses do not mean that they are not loved,” said Volk.
Krondak will be in court this week. She risks up to 26 years in prison if she is found guilty.
