- Florida, USA -
The Quincy Police Department arrested 62-year-old ANGELA BRIDGES GEARY (pictured), owner of Little Friends Pet Lodge.
Court documents obtained by Voice For Us accuse GEARY of keeping cats and dogs at her business on 43 N Cleveland Street in deplorable condition.
When Quincy Police Sgt. Barber first responded to the facility back in March, he reported that he was “overwhelmed with the scent of urine and fecal matter” to the point that he started vomiting.
Quincy Police had been contacted by GEARY’s former employees after discovering a freezer with dead cats and dogs inside.
According to Sgt. Barber’s report, when he entered the facility, he saw fecal matter on the floor along with cat litter, dog wee pads, and urine-stained newspapers. He saw kennels that were covered in feces and had no food or water for the cats and dogs who were housed inside.
Forty-one (41) dogs and ten (10) cats were found on the property in inhumane conditions.
Based on his findings, Sgt. Barber contacted the Code Enforcement Department and the business was issued a stop work order for all business at the location. Sgt. Barber also called in Animal Control and the ASPCA who responded with cleaning supplies and food for the cats and dogs.
The freezer containing the deceased animals was transported to the ASPCA in Gainesville and all of the furvictims, approximately eight-seven (87), were released to Elizabeth Pearlman, DVM a Forensic Veterinarian for Humane Law Enforcement. For most of the animals a necropsy could not be performed as they were in an advanced state of decomposition and crushed from being stacked in the freezer.
In April, Dr. Pearlman contacted investigators to give an update on the first thirty-two (32) animals who were set aside for a necropsy. She advised that twenty-three (23) of them were felines and nine (9) were puppies, one without a head. Dr. Pearlman advised that all of the animals showed signs of “severe flea infestation” and said that to complete all the necropsies would require approximately three more months.
During the investigation, GEARY agreed to sign over fifty-one (51) animals to JUDY LYNN DUBOIS, owner of Du Bois Rescue.
As many of you know, Leon County authorities arrested DUBOIS in May 2024, and six dogs were removed from her property.
GEARY was arrested on June 2, 2024, on fifty-one counts of animal cruelty and fifty-one counts of confining animals without sufficient food.
She was released from the Gadsden County Jail the following day after posting a $5,000 bond.
According to court records, GEARY’s arraignment is scheduled for June 25, 2024, at 11:15 a.m.

If the county believes it is fine to give these innocent souls who have experienced such neglect to yet another abuser then no effing wonder this awful person had a freezer full of souls & countless others in such a horrible state. Dubois must be monitored. Geez. All these innocent souls deserve better. Geary should receive the harshest punishment. RIP INNOCENT SOULS
