Miriam Sakewitz was found guilty of multiple counts of animal neglect and pleaded no contest to criminal mischief and tampering with evidence

She was accused trying to steal back the rabbits in February after police and animal control workers seized125 of the animals from Sakewitz' Hillsboro home last fall. There were 90 dead rabbits in her garage and even more dead rabbits in her refrigerators and freezers.

Sakewitz, 44, claimed to be storing the dead rabbits in freezers until she could properly bury them.

She was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and to pay restitution, an amount which has not been determined.

The court said she has relinquished ownership of all animals.

The Oregon Humane Society said they will begin offering the rabbits for adoption next week.
