A Staten Island man has been indicted for allegedly neglecting and starving 24 huskies who lived in squalor — leaving one puppy dead, officials said Wednesday.

Victor Quinteros, 54, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to dozens of charges of criminal mischief, failing to provide proper sustenance, and torturing the dogs, according to the Staten Island District Attorney’s office.

Quinteros was arrested on July 29 after a raid of an empty lot in Tompkinsville. A day earlier it was revealed that the canines – including sixteen adults, seven puppies, and one dead puppy – were living inside and under two trailers or were roaming around the fenced-in property.

The trailers were hot, had little airflow and were rancid from urine and feces, the complaint claims.

Inside one of the trailers holding as many as 20 huskies, there was “feces caking the floor and all surfaces within the trailer where a dog could stand, sit or lie down,” the complaint claims.

There was also no food or water inside and when the animals were let out they ran around in search of nourishment.

Their only source of water on the property was a kiddy pool filled with “dirty, green and foul-smelling water” that the dogs were drinking and bathing in, the complaint says.

And the only source of food was “rotting and appeared to have maggots crawling in it,” the complaint claims.

The dogs “appeared to be malnourished, with matted fur and paws caked with urine and feces.” There was also a dog named Zeus, “chained to a fence” without food or water, whose neck was “bleeding and oozing pus” from the chain.

A mother was found under the trailer with a litter of puppies including one dead pup.

Quinteros told officials when they arrived at the property that “I run an animal rescue here,” the complaint claims.

At the court hearing Wednesday, Quinteros – through his lawyer – rejected a prosecutor’s request to have the dogs fixed, provided with dental care and given microchips, according to a report by the Staten Island Advance.

The DA’s office – on the ASPCA’s behalf – is seeking a bond from Quinteros for the cost of medical care for the huskies, as bills have already soared over $40,000, the outlet reported.

The pooches are in the ASPCA’s care but they are still owned by Quinteros, the news site reported.

A judge set bail at $20,000 cash and $75,000 bond, the DA’s office said.

“This defendant neglected to provide basic needs for twenty-four huskies under his care, choosing to heartlessly leave these beautiful creatures in deplorable and unsafe conditions without access to enough food or water,” District Attorney Michael McMahon said in a statement.

“We are proud to work alongside the New York City Sheriff’s Office and Richmond County District Attorney’s Office to bring these dogs to safety and provide them with the much-needed medical care and behavioral treatment they deserve,” ASPCA lawyer Erin Satterthwaite said in a statement.

The Legal Aid Society, which is representing Quinteros in the case, did not immediately return a request for comment.
