Nearly 60 Dogs Seized in Hollywood
By: Charleston Animal Society
Hollywood, SC – The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office responded to a citizen complaint in Hollywood, SC, where dozens of dogs were being kept outside and inside a residence that was set up as a dog rescue operation. According to the Sheriff’s Department, the homeowner had been hospitalized and was unable to care for the dogs.
The Sheriff’s Office obtained a search warrant for the property and has worked throughout the day to seize approximately 57 dogs of various breeds and sizes. Charleston Animal Society is assisting in the effort along with multiple law enforcement agencies. 48 of the 57 dogs are being brought to Charleston Animal Society tonight, while 9 others are being sent to several animal organizations.
“Like most other open-admission shelters across the state, we are already overcapacity with adult dogs, but our dedicated staff are working tonight to build additional kennels for these dogs,” said Pearl Sutton, Charleston Animal Society’s Chief Lifesaving Officer.
“In this case, a concerned citizen picked up the phone and did the right thing,” Sutton said. “If you see an animal you’re concerned about, call the police. In Charleston County, that number is (843) 743-7200.”
