‘House of horrors’: Missed calls, years of inaction and 125 dead dogs

Investigators found 125 dead dogs and rescued 123 other animals from Kimberly and Ralph Moody’s Georgetown County home on July 9, after years of complaints and more than 20 calls to 911. Animal advocates described severe conditions, including carcasses inside walls and dangerously high ammonia levels. The case has prompted scrutiny of the sheriff’s office response and gaps in South Carolina’s animal-protection system, according to WCSC.
