Kittens stolen from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay returned to shelter by Tampa Bay Police

- Florida, USA -

Two kittens who were stolen from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay are now back and safe!

On March 8, 2024, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay took their appeal to Facebook asking the community to help.

According to the organization’s post, on March 7, 2024, a young female, and a young male (both pictured), entered the shelter and “brazenly STOLE two innocent underage kittens from the off-limits kitten nursery.”

The post goes on to say that the two individuals “scouted out the two kittens they wanted from outside the room, then snuck in, took them, and shoved them into their backpacks before quickly leaving.”

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay identified the kittens as Marcus and Mitch.

In an update published on March 9, 2024, the organization advised that Marcus and Mitch were returned to the shelter by the Tampa Police Department. With the help of tips from the local community, officers retrieved the stolen furbabies and brought them back safely to the shelter.

Marcus and Mitch were examined and are thankfully healthy and doing well.

Police are continuing to investigate this incident and at this time they are not releasing additional details regarding the suspects or the pending charges.

ANGELA MARIE GIUDICE-BURRIS arrested after three puppies were found in a dumpster and later died

- Florida, USA -

The Tampa Police Department arrested 44-years-old ANGELA MARIE GIUDICE-BURRIS (pictured).

The arrest is the result of an investigation launched on November 24, 2023, after three newborn puppies were found “barely alive” in a dumpster on 1512 North Clark Street.

Police said the puppies were found zipped up in plastic, Ziploc-style bags and the Good Samaritan who found them immediately rushed the Voiceless Victims to the local Humane Society for emergency care. Sadly, all three furbabies died.

Police said in a press release that surveillance video captured a vehicle that led detectives to GIUDICE-BURRIS.

The evil female was arrested on Thursday, December 21, 2023, and charged with third-degree felony aggravated cruelty to animals.

GIUDICE-BURRIS was released from the Hillsborough County Jail the same day after posting a meager $2,000 bond.

According to police, Hillsborough County Animal Control went to the female’s home where they found and removed two adult dogs.

Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said: “It's disturbing to see a case of animal abuse in our community. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior and will hold those accountable for their actions.”

JOSHUA JOSEPH MUELLER arrested for stabbing dog and slashing a woman’s arm

- Florida, USA -

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of 40-years-old JOSHUA JOSEPH MUELLER (pictured).

In a press release, the sheriff’s office recounted the facts that ultimately led to MUELLER’s arrest.

On the evening of Thursday, October 26, 2023, MUELLER was arguing with a woman who was seated in a car parked in front of a home in the 7200 block of Halima Road in Dover.

At one point MUELLER, “became upset and shattered the front driver's side window with his fist. He then went inside and grabbed a large kitchen knife”, stated the release.

With the knife in his hands, MUELLER walked back outside, confronted the woman, and slashed at her arms several times. The woman’s dog was inside the vehicle and came in defense of his/her guardian.

MUELLER then proceeded to stab the dog in the face and in the chest area.

According to the release, when deputies arrested MUELLER, he confessed to stabbing the dog and slashing the woman’s arm.

MUELLER is now facing one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals with a weapon and two felony counts of aggravated battery with a weapon with great bodily harm.

At time of writing, records show that MUELLER is being held at the Hillsborough County Jail.

In a statement, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said: “This is a sad and reprehensible act of domestic violence and animal abuse that will not be tolerated in our county. While this individual cools off and faces the consequences of his violent actions, our heart goes out to the victim and their brave pup, and our deputies are working to get them the help they need to move forward.”
