The Muddy Paws building, where Diane Eldrup is suspected to have starved 34 dogs to death, is no longer there.

A demolition crew, M. Rizzi Son, arrived Thursday morning to begin the process of erasing the former dog rescue and boarding facility from the Deer Park landscape.

“This is where my beautiful Lucha lived, suffered and died,” said Janice Robinson, a foster parent of one of the dogs who died at Muddy Paws. Robinson said she was brought to tears upon hearing of the demolition.

Pete Rizzi, of M. Rizzi Son, said the company was contracted by the bank to demolish the building. The former home and business of Diane Eldrup and her estranged husband, Kurt Eldrup, was foreclosed. IBT Holdings is listed as the current owner, in real estate records.

Eldrup was  charged with 19 felony counts of aggravated cruelty and 19 counts of animal torture.

Prosecutors offered a plea to Diane Eldrup recently.

She is being asked to plead guilty to the 19 counts of aggravated  animal cruelty, a Class 4 felony, with a maximum punishment of one to  three years in jail.

In exchange for the plea, Eldrup would not be  prosecuted for the Class 3 felony charges for animal torture, which  carry a maximum sentence of five years in jail. If she does not accept the plea, the case is expected to go to trial in June.
