It’ll be 12-months probation for Christina Laskero, the 22-year-old woman who was accused of moving out of a Lakeview apartment in September and leaving two cats and a dog behind to die from neglect.
Laskero has pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals and failure to perform animal owner duties, according to court records.

Police said Laskero failed to return to her apartment at 505 West Belmont to feed and care for her pets, a pit bull breed named “Vinny” and two cats, “Georgia Moon” and “Champ.”
The animals were found three months after Laskero moved out when a building engineer entered Laskero’s apartment to investigate “a water leak and odor emitting out of the residence” just before Christmas.
Once inside, the worker summoned police after finding ”deplorable conditions.”
A Chicago Police Department gang and animal crimes investigation team said in court records that Laserko admitted to leaving the animals behind.
