Cops in Hillsborough County are looking for the woman who dumped 11 pets under her care in the middle of a road in Ruskin, Florida. CCTV footage of the woman shows her throwing off 10 cats and 1 elderly dog, before driving off without a care.













As per C.A.R.E. (Critter Adoption and Rescue Effort) Animal Shelter, the woman came to them to surrender her pets. However, they turned her away as they were a no-kill shelter who did not have the capacity to accommodate another pet. The workers believe that the woman had other options to surrender her pets, but didn’t bother to reach out to them.

The 11 pets were under heavy stress on the road. They had scattered away in a state of panic, and it took the shelter several days to locate them all and bring them back to safety. Local animal workers are now voicing their fears over the rise in this disturbing trend of dumping animals just about anywhere in order to get rid of them.













Investigations in this case are still ongoing. The cops say that the woman will be facing animal cruelty charges when caught, and will also be added to the county’s animal abuser registry. Once prosecuted, she can face fines and jail time accordingly. We hope she is found soon and faces the consequences of her cruel actions.
