HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW ) — The Horry County Animal Care Center has reopened after being closed on Thursday because of a police investigation, but some staff members are continuing to work with authorities in an animal investigation, a spokesperson said.
The closure came after Horry County police found several live dogs while executing a search warrant at about 9 a.m. Thursday at a location off of Highway 57 S. near Wampee, according to police spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov. The initial investigation was not related to the animals.
The animal investigation remains active, Moskov said.
