Court Date Set for New City Dogs that Mauled, Killed Pet Goats

The Town of Clarktown Animal Control Officer has secured a seizure order that keeps two dogs at the Hi-Tor animal shelter until a judge makes a ruling in the case of two slain pet goats.

The dogs invaded an enclosed New City yard Sept. 23 to get at the pets. Their 83-year-year old owner heard them moaning at 3:30 a.m. and tried unsuccessfully to drive the marauders off with a stick before she called 911, according to News 12.

The first court appearance has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Oct. 15 in the Clarkstown Justice Court.

This is the second time in two years that this pair of dogs will appear in court for killing the woman’s pets.
