RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. — A man and woman are charged with felony cruelty after abandoned malnourished and dead dogs were found inside and outside their home in Randolph County, deputies say.
On July 12, Randolph County Sheriff's Office helped the Randolph County Animal Services after they responded to a call regarding an aggressive dog on Searcy Road Exit.
When they arrived, the Animal Control Officer located abandoned malnourished dogs outside of the house, two of which were dead.
The caller also reported multiple dogs inside the house with no caregiver.
