The recent discovery of two starving dogs has resulted in the arrest of a North Charleston, South Carolina, man. According to Thursday’s ABC News 4, in November, after an officer discovered a starved German shepherd and “frail” American Staffordshire terrier, at the home of their owner, identified as Kurt Evans Smith II, it was apparent that the dogs had been surviving without care for some time.
The officer did not make contact with Smith on the first visit to the Little Sydneys Way residence, but later, when Smith was questioned, he admitted that he had basically left the dogs to fend for themselves, telling the officer that he had “been out of town for a couple of days.”
According to the ABC News article, the German shepherd was taken to the Charleston Animal Society – no word on the current location of the American Staffordshire terrier. Smith was arrested and he is facing an animal cruelty charge for the alleged neglect and a charge for lack of current vaccinations.

PIECE OF TRASH dont look like he gives a shit about anything ugly fatass
Agree only about his own decreped fat ass loser
A shame! Doesn’t look like owner did without any food!
This is very troubling not only because of the shape of the TWO dogs but the fact that only ONE of the dogs were rescued at the time. This is from the ABC 7 post:
“Dispatch received a call on November 7, 2016 about the dogs at Smith’s Little Sydneys Way home. At the time of arrival, the officer didn’t make contact with Smith and transported the German Shepherd to the Charleston Animal Society for evaluation.”
It’s like the other dog, an American Staffordshire Terrier ceased to exist. Your article is the only place that really mention’s the second dog in any detail. I couldn’t find anything at the animal society or the police department.
Very troubling. Makes me wonder if the dog is deceased, either by the “neglectful” owner or because the poor pup was left there for some unknown reason by the police officer for some unknown reason. Either way, I will continue to try to find out what happened to the terrier.
Dogs just don’t starve in a couple of days.
No they don’t. He’s lying!
Yes please do
I also was concerned about the “beating around bush” about the second dog! Fragile doesnt mean give up on these lives and i sincerely hope it was an omission to do with the reporting cause they could get the facts themselves.. hope they came the precious soul ti recover !!
They should take him out somewhere remote and drop him off to “fend for himself” !!!
I hope they reached all the dogs.
Good point; where’s the terrier. I’d like to know that he/she is alright as well.
Hoping they find the American atafforshire terrier soon! This dumbo knows where he is .
Out of town a couple of days…right! So callously neglected them… on purpose!!
Hopefully he will get his due justice!!
Fucking ugly piece of shit
I hope that idiot goes to Prison for a long time and not fed to see how he likes it.
