Carrabelle police Department became aware of the situation on April
10th
after receiving a tip of a possible animal neglect situation at 502
NW Avenue D.
Police
Chief Gary Hunnings, accompanied by the Franklin County Sheriff’s
Office, Franklin County Animal Control, and Franklin County Humane
Society responded to the address owned by 73 year old Mary E. Thrash.
Thrash
admitted to being in possession of an abundance of animals and
willingly surrendered 19 animals to the Franklin County Humane
Society.

next day authorities returned to the home with a search warrant to
locate and evaluate any other animals inside the residence.
