DENVER, N.C. -- A woman charged with neglecting animals at her rescue in Denver said Friday she took care to all of her nearly 400 pets.Vicki Rauch and her son are each charged with nine counts of animal cruelty. Rauch’s husband is also charged with animal cruelty.Last week, crews seized animals of all kinds from their home in Denver. Animal Services said the nine charges come from the animals in the worst condition.“But I think if they only found something wrong with nine animals out of 400, that's still an A-plus, you know,” Rauch said.The Animal Services director said any reasonable adult would have known that the animals needed immediate medical attention. He said there are still more extremely ill animals and the possibility of more charges.RELATED STORY: Caretakers Concerned About Animals Seized From Home As Storm Approaches RELATED STORY: Lincoln County Animal Control Caring For Hundreds Of Seized Animals RELATED STORY: About 170 Animals Seized From Lincoln County Home
