Press Release

On September 14, 2024, State Police of Granville, NY, arrested Rebecca A. Beaupre, 24, of Milton, VT, for ten counts of Overdriving, Torturing, and Injuring Animals.

On July 11, 2024, at about 5:30 p.m., Troopers responded to a home in Whitehall, NY, for reports of ten puppies abandoned there. The investigation determined Beaupre allegedly removed the puppies, which were less than four weeks old, from the mother (dog) without the owner’s permission or knowledge. She then brought the puppies to the Whitehall home in kennels and left them without water or food. The owner was located and the puppies were returned.

Beaupre was arrested in Hartford, NY, and transported to SP Granville for processing.  She was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the Whitehall Village Court on September 23, 2024, and released.
