Owner facing felony animal cruelty charges after 27 emaciated animals seized from Freetown home
MSPCA-Angell is seeking people willing to adopt the seized dogs and goats.
A Freetown woman is facing 13 counts of felony animal cruelty after the MSPCA-Angell seized 27 animals, who were all reportedly malnourished, from her home.MSPCA authorities said they also allegedly found three dead dogs at Miranda Rosyski’s home. Rosyski, 21, is planned to be arraigned on March 3 in Fall River District Court.“The allegations in this case are disturbing,” Bristol District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III said in a news release from the MSPCA. “We appreciate the efforts of the MSPCA’s Law Enforcement Department in contacting us and working with us to fully investigate this very serious matter.”The animals – 18 goats and nine dogs – were found in what MSPCA officials called “unsanitary” conditions in the Assonet part of Freetown.Six dogs have already been adopted, according to the MSPCA; they were a mix of Redbone Coonhounds, standard poodles, and a black Lab. The others, two of which are being treated for heartworm, are still with the organization. All three are female Redbone Coonhounds – Fancy, 4, Peyton, 3, and Bella, 7.The goats are being kept at the MSPCA’s Nevins Farm in Methuen. Three of the 18 died soon after they were rescued. The remaining 15, four of which are pregnant, are up for adoption, the release said.“We are focusing our energies on restoring the health of the surviving animals; we believe they will make wonderful pets, and we hope adopters will visit us this week to meet them in person,” Mike Keiley, director of adoption centers and programs at the MSPCA-Angell, said in the release.
