Wake County Animal Control rescued more than a dozen animals from a Fuquay-Varina home Sunday.
Officials say the victim was a hoarder and it took firefighters more than an hour to get the 500-pound man out of the house because there was so much stuff inside.
Animals rescued from a massive hoarding operation in western North Carolina are up for adoption.
In a stunning photo series showing the massive amount of junk and garbage cluttering throughout the house, one photographer recreated what his childhood home looked like as he grew up with a hoarder mother in Omaha, Nebraska.
