A Savannah man accused of hoarding 71 dogs in a home that is now condemned has been charged with more than 100 city ordinance violations by Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police.
Among the charges brought against Daniel Golden, 43, are 71 counts of animal neglect and 50 counts of failing to properly vaccinate the dogs, according to a news release.
The dogs were kept in a home in the 300 block of East 33rd Street. Officers were called to the home Sunday for a noise complaint of barking, the release said. Police and animal-control officers spent more than four hours removing the small dogs, ranging from newborns to adults.
