DURHAM, N.Y. -- Dozens of dogs and a cat were removed from two properties in the Town of Durham Sunday, and a woman was taken into custody, according to the Greene County Sheriffs Office. Authorities called the conditions inside the properties deplorable. Deputies said an anonymous call stating concern for the animals sparked the investigation at 221 Hervey Sunside Rd. as well as a second location on Morrison Road. Members of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society also responded. They removed 39 dogs and one cat from both properties. Seven of the dogs were puppies. One humane society member said a dog found inside one of the homes did not have water and quickly ate snow when it was brought outside. Greene County Sheriff Greg Seeley said 43-year-old Dawn Verdeschi was charged with one count of Failure to Provide Food and Water. More charges may be filed.
