Man Charged After Discovery Of Dog So Emaciated That She Had To Be Euthanized

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida man was arrested and is facing animal cruelty charges for allowing his dog, Roxy, to become severely malnourished. According to sources, 36-year-old Michael Dwayn Mings’ dog weighed just 13 pounds when she was discovered.

The dog was in such poor health by the time she went to the Veterinary Emergency Clinic that the decision was made to humanely euthanize her.

The call to animal control about Roxy’s condition was made anonymously back in mid-April but Mings was not arrested until Sept. 30; he was booked into the Charlotte County Jail on charges of confinement/abandonment of animals and one count of cruelty to animals.

He has already been released on bond.
