A Queens-based animal group has won a legal fight to get back a rescue dog from a Connecticut woman who took the pooch, then allegedly failed to give it proper care.

Stamford Superior Court Judge David Tobin ruled in favor of the Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue on Wednesday following a three-day trial when he ordered that Cheryl Baity return 6-year-old Lambsy to the rescue group within 30 days.

The Bayside rescue group previously sued Baity for custody of the pooch, claiming that Baity, who now lives in New Hampshire, defied its strict directions on caring for the dog.
“We are looking forward to the return of the dog,” said lawyer Daniel Rosen, who represents the rescue agency, according to the news outlet.

Baity’s lawyer suggested that the rescue group would have to overcome other hurdles to get Lambsy back, since Baity lives in New Hampshire.

“I don’t believe the court here has jurisdiction over the dog,” attorney Danielle DiBerardini-Albrecht said, according to the Connecticut Post. “The adoption agency is going to have to go to New Hampshire and get an order there to take the dog.”

In October of last year, Baity, who was then living in Darien, Conn., submitted an application to the rescue group to take Lambsy for a 30-day “foster-to-adopt” period and was approved, according to court documents.

The rescue group claimed that Baity signed an agreement acknowledging she did not yet technically own Lambsy, and that she would keep the critter out of public places for two weeks — terms that Baity allegedly ignored.

Shortly after Baity took Lambsy, the organization learned that the dog broke away from Baity, 60, at a park and went missing for about a week.

The rescue group also claims that it found that Baity lied in her application when she wrote that her three previous dogs died of old age. The group claims it found out that Baity fatally struck one with her car and that another died of renal failure.

But Baity previously insisted to The Post that she did not kill a dog with her car and that she tried to save the other.

Her lawyer Danielle DiBerardini-Albrecht told The Post Thursday that she plans on “filing a motion to stay the enforcement of the [judge’s] order while we file our notice of intent to appeal.”

DiBerardini-Albrecht also said that she has plans to file a defamation suit against members of the Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue.

The lawyer said that the animal rescue group “falsely alleged that Cheryl Baity abused, harmed or killed prior dogs and also lied about it.”

“They presented not one shred of evidence in support of any of those allegations,” the lawyer said. “The judge heard no evidence.”

She also suggested that the rescue group would have to overcome other hurdles to get Lambsy back, since Baity lives in New Hampshire and the court decision was made in Connecticut.

A rep for the rescue group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
