JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A Jacksonville woman is facing several animal cruelty charges after police say they found three dead puppies and a severely malnourished dog inside her apartment.<\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office says 21-year-old Jada Samone Warren was arrested on August 29 following an investigation that began when Animal Care and Protective Services responded to a possible animal cruelty call at an apartment on LaBelle Street.<\/p>\n
Police say they found a strong odor inside the unit, along with a lethargic, malnourished dog and a crate containing three dead puppies.<\/p>\n
A fourth puppy was alive but underweight and suffering from hookworms.<\/p>\n
Police say Warren admitted she was responsible for the animals but left them unattended for several days. <\/p>\n
The surviving dog showed signs of starvation, dehydration, and anemia.<\/p>\n
Two of the deceased puppies reportedly tried to survive by eating another that had died, according to JSO.<\/p>\n
Warren is facing three counts of aggravated animal cruelty and one count of cruelty to animals. <\/p>\n
Investigators noted Warren left the animals without food and water, which directly led to their deaths.<\/p>\n
