CAROL ULRICH NORMAND and JOSEPH ANDREW MOORE arrested - More than a dozen dogs rescued

- Florida, USA -


The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office arrested 66-year-old CAROL ULRICH NORMAND and 63-year-old JOSEPH ANDREW MOORE (both pictured), after more than a dozen dogs were found living in “appalling” conditions.


On December 31, 2024, Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) Animal Control Officers responded to a residence on S. Mooring Drive in Inverness following complaints about aggressive dogs frequently getting loose and disturbing neighbors.


Deputies were also called in and upon arrival, they learned from Animal Control Officers that NORMAND had multiple Boston Terriers “with not so adequate living conditions”, stated the affidavit.


NORMAND denied the allegations but when a deputy entered the residence, he was greeted with a strong odor of urine. The deputy reported: “The odor was to the point where my eyes were watering and I started to get an instant headache. The smell got stronger the further I entered the residence.”


According to the affidavit, the deputy found twelve Boston Terriers whom at first glance appeared to be “malnourished and filthy.”

The deputy further reported that the kitchen countertops were covered in old garbage and the floor was covered in filth and feces. Throughout the residence, the deputy noticed feces and dried urine along the walls near the floor.


When the deputy asked NORMAND for how long the dogs had been living like that, she answered “for an extended amount of time due to moving from place to place.”


The poor souls did not have any clean water and NORMAND was unable to show the deputy veterinary records for the furvictims.


MOORE, NORMAND’s roommate, had one Boston Terrier who was also living in the same squalid conditions as the other twelve furvictims.


Animal Control Officers removed the thirteen Voiceless Victims from the residence and took them to Citrus County Animal Services.


NORMAND was charged with twelve felony counts of animal cruelty and her bond was set at $30,000 which, according to online records, she was able to post.


MOORE was charged with one felony count of animal cruelty and did not receive a bond due to “violating probation from a previous charge of Battery on a Person 65 or Older”, said the Citrus County Sheriff's Office.


The sheriff's office commended the "swift action of its animal control officers in rescuing the neglected animals and ensuring they receive the care they deserve."
