According to Sgt. Janet
Boehler, a friend discovered Lertzman's body. It is unclear how long
Lertzman and the pets had been dead before they were found. Lertzman was
last seen alive November 3.

An organization that
rescues and rehabilitates all types of animals, Animal Rights Foundation
considered Lertzman a pioneer in animal rescue.
"She woke every day to
help all of God's beautiful creatures. She fed the deer, squirrels,
birds, raccoons, geese and what she called 'Sandy's Safe Haven For All
Animals' at her home,'" a statement on the Animal Rights Foundation
website said.
According to Boehler, one
dog survived. Police say it jumped out of the car, and they found it in
garage when they entered the home.
The surviving dog is recovering at home with Lertzman's husband, Rick, and son, Matthew.
"Animal Rights Foundation
will continue, as strong as ever, in Sandy's memory," the organization
said on the website. "We will go on caring, supporting, and helping all
animals in distress and supporting laws to protect our animals in her
honor."
