I am working with Jaime and Pawlicious Poochie Pet Rescue to put this event together. We will be meeting outside the courthouse at 12:15. Feel free to bring signs and wear a Justice for Frosty t-shirt if you have one.
Backstory:
Largo police confirmed that 42-year-old Maryanne Gamble and 43-year-old Fred Gamble are each facing 17 counts of felony animal cruelty, with more charges possible in the future.
Police also believe there are other dogs buried in the Gambles' backyard. The Gambles had been illegally breeding the dogs and were aware that some of their puppies had died after being sold, according to investigators.
Jaime Bunny McNight took custody of the surviving dogs through her rescue, Pawlicious Poochie Rescue, and has been providing their ongoing care and rehabilitation. Frosty fought hard, but his injuries and parvo were just too much for his little body. She was holding Frosty at the time of his death.
Frosty suffered injuries consistent with blunt force trauma, raising serious concerns of intentional abuse and criminal conduct.
We are calling for prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. For clarity, each of the 17 felony animal cruelty charges carries a potential penalty of up to five years in prison per count.
While maximum sentencing may not ultimately be imposed, it is imperative that the punishment reflect the severity, violence, and number of victims involved in this case. Anything less undermines justice for Frosty and the other dogs who suffered.
The backstory: Two people were arrested weeks after 12 dogs were dumped at a Largo park, leading to one puppy's death.
