Two dogs that were found in deplorable conditions inside a Brentwood home last week are up for adoption.
The staff at the Islip Animal Shelter say Princess and Koda are healthy, clean and ready for a new home.
The Suffolk SPCA says the dogs were living in a Brentwood home near buckets of urine and crack cocaine. Their owner, Stacy Zimmer, was arrested and charged with animal cruelty on Wednesday after a search warrant was executed. Officers say the smell was so bad it made them cough and gag.
The home was labeled as unfit for human occupancy by Smithtown Town Code Enforcement.
“Upon execution of the warrant, we found the conditions to be the same as described. There was urine, feces, trash, cobwebs, hundreds of flies strewn about the residence, foul smells," said Detective Sgt. Joseph Galante.
The shelter told News 12 when the two dogs were brought in, they were in decent shape. They were not malnourished; they just needed to be groomed and have their nails clipped.
Anyone interested in adopting the dogs should contact the Islip Town Shelter.
Zimmer will face a judge on March 7.
