They're calling in the biggest dogfighting bust ever in South Carolina and now the issue is what happens to the dogs?

Over the weekend, federal agents and SLED arresting 21 people they say are involved in the abuse of hundreds of dogs.

The Humane Society of the United States and Bark Nation are both helping care for more than 300 dogs that were rescued from several counties over the weekend.

Investigators think at least 275 of them were used to fight.

Agents also recovered thirty guns, $40,000 in cash and equipment used in dogfighting,

“We had one kind of juvenile dog with what the vets suspect is a broken leg also appeared to have bite wounds and so today we’re doing exams and diagnosis, we did have to send one to the emergency vet," says Adam Parascandola with The Humane Society of the United States.

On Saturday officers raided a dogfighting match in Richland County. Then the next day, they executed search warrants at several properties and residences in Richland, York, Orangeburg, Clarendon, Lee and Sumter counties.

Adam Parascandola says the costs associated with the crimes include paying for care of the abused animals.

There’s is no way for them to have the cost of care paid for so they have to take that on or the taxpayer has to take that on.

The group is leaning on partners to help with facilities and services as the dogs heal.

There’s just not the capacity a lot of times at your local shelters to be able to take on quite a large number of dogs.

The people arrested face a number of charges.

Several agencies including SLED are still investigating.
