Man arrested for allegedly hoarding nearly 50 dogs in Queens apartment, police say
Briefly

Isaak Yadgarov, 37, faces multiple animal cruelty charges after police found 48 dogs, primarily Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, crammed into unlivable conditions in his Queens apartment. The dogs were reportedly kept in closets, suffering from neglect, and infested with urine and feces, without access to outdoor space. This alarming discovery arose as Yadgarov was undergoing eviction proceedings. Many dogs were undersocialized, with some requiring immediate medical attention, leading to the euthanization of three of them. Yadgarov has been charged and is awaiting arraignment in Queens.
