‘Blood was seeping from the freezer’: Woman charged after 14 dogs found dead in feces-covered home

A welfare check on a woman led to the discovery of 14 dead dogs in a feces-covered home, including some found the freezer and refrigerator.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia received a phone call from a woman who said she hadn’t seen her neighbor, Margaret Nevils, at her Grovetown home since October 2023, an incident report obtained by Law&Crime says.

Deputies went to the home and looked into a window with the blinds partially pulled up and saw the floor was covered with feces. An emaciated pit bull ran up to the window. A deputy knocked on the door and rang the doorbell but no one came to the door. The deputy went around back and looked through a window into the kitchen which showed the floor was covered with feces there as well. The dogs had apparently chewed holes through the walls in the kitchen and garage.

Nevils’ phone went straight to voicemail when deputies called, the affidavit said. Cops forced their way into the back door. After an animal services officer captured the pit bull, deputies went inside. What they found was stomach-churning: Three dogs were found dead in the bedroom, three were in the refrigerator and one was in the freezer. There were also seven dead puppies throughout the house. All the dogs were in various states of decomposition.

The deputy saw a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer and “noticed that blood was seeping from the freezer section of the refrigerator,” the affidavit said.

“I opened the freezer door and saw a black trash bag with an animal foot sticking out,” the deputy wrote.

There were also multiple empty dog cages. The home’s furniture was shredded.

Major Steve Morris told Law&Crime that detectives located Nevils, 41, at her workplace. According to Morris, Nevils told investigators she was running an adoption and dog rescue service but became overwhelmed and decided to leave the dogs behind.

So that one poor pittie was the only guy left? How horrible for him to have to live amongst that. I hope he finds a nice home and she’s forced to sleep in that disgusting fridge….

Evil fucking cunt. You don't get to feel overwhelmed when you have animals. You take care of them and if you're too much of an incompetent idiot to, you surrender them. She deserves to starve to death. And always with the feces.....
