Woman Freed Under Monitoring in Case of Puppy That Ingested 55 Crack Rocks

Overview

• The puppy, taken to an emergency clinic in Joinville with intoxication on Friday, underwent a procedure that removed 55 crack rocks.
• The Military Police recorded the case as animal cruelty and seized the stones as evidence at the clinic.
• The daughter of the couple who brought the dog told officers the drugs were hers, and she now responds to animal-cruelty and drug charges.
• The judiciary released her with an electronic ankle monitor and other conditions after a custody hearing that noted no prior convictions.
• Veterinarians said the dog had missed basic deworming and vaccines, and the city’s animal welfare center is handling microchipping and rehoming.
