STURBRIDGE, Mass. (WPRI) — The Marlboro man facing dozens of animal cruelty charges after nearly 100 dead animals were discovered at a Sturbridge property he was renting faced a judge Tuesday. Andrew Sebastiano was ordered held without bail pending his next court date, which is slated for later this month, according to the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). RELATED: Man charged after nearly 100 dead animals found at Sturbridge property Sebastiano was taken into custody last week and charged with 96 counts of animal cruelty and 96 counts of animal cruelty by custodian. The MSPCA said 96 dead animals, including chickens, geese, pigs, ducks and rabbits, were found at his rental property on March 19. Investigators believe Sebastiano left the property in February and never returned to care for the animals. Sebastiano's pet dog was taken from him at the time of his arrest and officially surrendered to the MSPCA at his court appearance.

"Foxy hasn’t been in our care for very long, so we’re still getting to know her, but she’s doing really well," MSPCA Law Enforcement Director Chris Schindler said. Schindler said Foxy still needs to be spayed and receive some behavioral support before she's ready to meet her new family. He expects her to be available for adoption sometime next week.
