(WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A Hoffman Estates woman has been sentenced to three years in prison for starving two dogs to death.
21-year-old Sarah Gorski pleaded guilty in February to three counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.
In March of 2020 Naperville police and animal control officers were called to a recreational trail to investigate a dead German Shepherd. The dog was wrapped in a bed sheet in a storage container. It weighed about 20 pounds, 50 pounds less than a normal weight for that breed. Authorities learned he belonged to Gorski and Andre Norris who lived in Naperville at the time.
Investigators found they also owned two other dogs. One, a Corgi, had died and had been wrapped in sheet and left in a field. The other, another German Shepherd and Hound mix, found alive in a rusted dog crate, filled with feces, blood and urine. That dog is now with a foster family.
