ANIMAL RESCUE OWNER CHARGED
By Jodi Rogstad

CHEYENNE -- The woman who ran an animal rescue near Carpenter now faces two counts of animal cruelty after Cheyenne Animal Control officers seized more than 100 dogs, cats and rabbits from the property. Marci Biesheuvel, 50, of the nonprofit Litl' Bit of Love Animal Rescue and Sanctuary has an arraignment hearing scheduled for Tuesday in Laramie County Circuit Court on two misdemeanor charges.
Meanwhile, last Saturday, she surrendered the animals to the custody of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter, according to director Rick Collord. Biesheuvel also had a variety of livestock on the property, including horses and goats, which she was allowed to keep. Since then, five dogs have been altered and moved to the shelter's adoption floor. Three of those are now in new homes.
Authorities went to the property Feb. 24 with a search warrant after a prospective customer complained about the conditions there. Rob Shank, who oversees shelter and animal control operations, was at the scene crating up dogs and loading them into vans. He said the biggest concern was filth. More than half of the 93 dogs seized were living in Biesheuvel's home, Shank said. All but a dozen of those were living in crates stacked three high in the bedroom. It appeared their waste had not been cleaned out of those crates in a couple of days, he said. About three-dozen dogs lived in outdoor kennels that were full of feces, Shank said. Additionally, the dog houses were in disrepair, and the water in the dishes was frozen.
Since the animals were surrendered, the shelter has given all 19 rabbits to the House Rabbit Society in Broomfield, Colo.
Collord said the shelter has since heard from six people who say they had surrendered their pet to Biesheuvel and would like them returned. He said the shelter is working with those individuals. Some have expressed fear that the animals would end up being euthanized at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter. So far, just one cat sick with feline leukemia has been euthanized. Collord said they had to force-feed her, and the veterinarian said there was no hope. Collord said the shelter will systematically work with the animals to get them on the adoption floor.
Some of the dogs are "skittish," he said. Nearly all the cats have upper respiratory infection, a contagious disease common in felines living in close quarters. The plan is to treat the cats. "There is no thought of euthanasia until they're as bad as that cat was," Collord said. "That would be a vet saying it would be inhumane to keep him alive."
As for the dogs, the shelter will work with them -- to a point. For instance, one dog, he said, attempts to hide and climb when someone opens his cage door. "You can't put your hands on him," Collord said. The dog will certainly bite if he feels cornered -- so it's clear his temperament doesn't make him an appropriate candidate for the adoption floor. That creates a liability issue for the shelter. While some animals the shelter does adopt out have ended up attacking people and other animals, staff do all they can to make sure they are not sending vicious dogs out in the community, he said. If the dogs don't calm down, the shelter will offer them to the 40 or so rescue groups the shelter works with. If there are no takers, then the animal will have to euthanized, he said. "I'm not ready to say we'll give up on them till we know we can't put them on the adoption floor," Collord said. "I would like to do our best for them right here."
Neither Biesheuvel nor her attorney, Michael Bennett, returned messages left by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle on Friday. Since the domestic animals were confiscated last week, Litl' Bit of Love's site on Petfinder.com has gone offline.
