Homeless Woman Charged With Animal Cruelty | Long Beach News

A 33-year-old woman, Priscilla Martin, allegedly homeless and running an unregistered rescue called K9 Paws, faces brutal animal cruelty charges after police found 13 sick, neglected dogs—including one that had to be euthanized—in her car on the Fourth of July. Multiple dogs suffered from parasites and heat distress, and she’s also charged with dumping a microchipped dog’s body, which likely died from heatstroke. If convicted, she could face over 15 years in prison. Despite pleading not guilty and being released without bail, she’s barred from owning animals. This case underscores the law’s zero-tolerance stance on animal abuse, no matter a person’s circumstances. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
