Kimberly Savino
Pleaded guilty March 23, 2026 in Plymouth County, MA to 26 counts of felony animal cruelty (subsequent-offense enhancement) for the months-long neglect of 17 dogs, 2 cats, and a guinea pig at her condemned Middleboro property in 2024. Animals were rescued by Middleboro Animal Control in October 2024.
Sentence: 1-year suspended sentence + 6 years probation + permanent ban on owning animals + 100 hours community service + mandated mental-health treatment. The Commonwealth had sought 2.5 years incarceration. Subsequent-offense enhancement applied because of a 2014 Michigan animal-cruelty charge.
1-yr suspended + 6 yrs probation + lifetime animal-ownership ban + 100 hrs community service + mental-health treatment.
