Overview

• Police discovered the unsanitary residence on May 19 during a welfare check requested by the South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS).
• The home contained over 40 animals, including raccoons, rabbits, dogs, and chickens, alongside animal feces and a decomposing goat in the bathtub.
• The infant was removed by DSS child advocates and placed in the custody of a relative due to the hazardous conditions.
• Parents Kayla Renard and Nicholas Foley face charges of unlawful conduct toward a child, animal mistreatment, and violations of local ordinances.
• The rescued animals are now being cared for by a local PAWS animal shelter, while the home awaits a potential uninhabitable designation.
