Pearl city officials will hold a hearing Tuesday that may determine whether a house at the center of an animal cruelty case will be demolished.
A couple who own a pet store in Salisbury have been charged with child abuse and animal cruelty after authorities responding to complaints found unfit living conditions in their home and children who had never been to school, the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said in a press release.
