A man faces multiple counts of animal cruelty and neglect after 5 dead dogs were found in a foreclosed home.
21-year-old Ryver Barker is accused of abandoning the dogs at a home he moved out of in the 7000 block of Briar Ridge Road in Wadesville.
Authorities say the dogs had been there since October 2024.
Overwhelmed by the smell when they entered the home, deputies had to use breathing apparatuses to search.
Barker was arrested for 8 counts of animal cruelty and animal neglect.
