Possible Animal Hording In North Charleston

A Dorchester County Sheriff's Deputy was checking on children who
didn't show up for school and made a shocking discovery on Plumbranch
Avenue in North Charleston.
He found over 60 dogs in one trailer lot.
The dogs are mainly Chihuahuas and chihuahua dachshund mixes.
"We do have possibly a pregnant dog. We've got a dog with puppies.
So, we've got quite a variety here," SPCA Director, Bob Jones, said.
Deputies say they found the dogs inside and around a trailer in
deplorable living conditions.
"That definitely brings up situations about drinking water and food
that may have been in the home
and any children who have been
exposed to open feces and urination," Jones said.
It began with a normal child welfare check-up and ended with two
teens in protective custody and their 60-plus dogs in a shelter.
Though animal control found the home in bad shape, the animals seem
to be cared for.
"At this point animal control tells us the majority of them are in
pretty good shape. We do have one that has a flea and tick problem,"
Jones said.
The animals will now call the Frances Willis SPCA in Summerville
home.
"We've doubled our numbers in a just a short few hours. Basically it
costs us $9 a day for an animal. So if we take that and multiply that
by 54
that's just for a day," Jones said.
Jones says the dogs' former owner is cooperating and making it easier
to find good homes.
"She did have shot records for most of the animals. Most of the
animals do have names. So, it seems she was doing what she could," he
said.
Animal control brought 54 dogs to the SPCA Friday night and could get
another 11 Monday morning.
They say they can hold those dogs until they are adopted or until
that space is needed. Then the dogs will have to be euthanized.
