A Mahopac man is facing animal cruelty charges after police say he abandoned three small dogs in a dark basement without food or water.

The dogs were starved and severely ill, according to investigators.
Authorities say 62-year-old Michael Ward was arrested following an investigation on March 25.
Officials say the dogs are recovering and will so be available for adoption.
