FLOYD COUNTY JAIL RECORDS
A 36-year-old Rome woman was arrested Wednesday at her Old Summerville Road residence on a felony warrant charging her with aggravated cruelty to animals.
According to the warrant, Julie Ann Major denied a 1-year-old dog food and medical care for an extended period of time.
The dog was malnourished, weighing 29.5 pounds, less than half his ideal weight.
He was also infested with fleas and worms and was anemic.
After seven days at Floyd County Public Animal Welfare Services with regular feedings, the dog gained 10.5 pounds.
