The Brief A Florida woman was arrested on animal cruelty charges after a DoorDash driver spotted a mother dog and eight puppies panting heavily inside a 97-degree garage.
Responding deputies noted Shafaira Johnson, 38, refused to bring the dogs into her air-conditioned home or give the nursing mother water until ordered a second time.
Eight puppies and their nursing mother were recovered after being rescued from an overheated garage inside a Flagler County home.
At around 1:30 p.m., responding deputies located Johnson inside the residence, where she kept eight American Bully puppies and their nursing mother in a two-story cage.
Animal Control investigators immediately placed all puppies inside an air-conditioned vehicle before taking custody of their mother, who was still panting heavily.
