COLE CAMP, Mo. (AP) – A couple who operated an animal rescue face multiple charges after 120 dogs and a cat were found dead in Missouri and about two dozen more dogs died in Texas. More than 200 other animals were rescued from
conditions that law enforcement described as “inhumane and unimaginable.”
Forty-nine-year-old Tiffany Woodington was charged Friday in Missouri with 10 counts of felony animal abuse and two misdemeanor counts of animal abuse. Her husband, 55-year-old Steven Woodington, was charged earlier this month in Texas
with several counts of animal cruelty. A second man described as the caretaker also was charged in Texas with animal cruelty. All three are free on bond.
The Benton County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that the couple operated the nonprofit group All Accounted For, which brought animals from Texas to Missouri.
