Hoarder sentenced on animal cruelty charges

SHANDAKEN – A woman, who was charged with several counts of animal cruelty in Ulster County for hoarding dogs, has been sentenced after pleading guilty in Town of Shandaken Court.

Marie Castaldo, 52, of the Super 8 Motel in Kingston, pled guilty to seven misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty under state Agriculture and Markets law.

In late July, following a year-long investigation, the Ulster County SPCA arrested Castaldo and seized 48 dogs from her possession. She was remanded to Ulster County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail after arraignment.
