Seven Dogs Chained in Pennsylvania Woods: How Long Until Help Comes?

How long, Pennsylvania? How long must chained dogs wait for a law protecting them from this abuse? Dogs Deserve Better had heard rumors of dogs chained in the mountains off Gypsy Camp Hollow Rd. in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. An anonymous tip gave us the location, and we went out there to investigate. We found seven dogs, all suffering in a variety of ways: all full of hook and whip worms, one blind dog, one with a big tumor, one severely matted, and the worst one with a major back end physical issue. One dog died during the January cold snap.

Please help us pass a law that will stop these abusers from torturing anymore dogs! Join our coalition today at http://www.unchainpadogs.com. Contact your local Pennsylvania State House Reps and Senators and tell them, NO MORE! The abuse stops here and now.

Tell Blair County DA Richard Consiglio you expect animal cruelty cases to be tried AND convicted. 814.693.3010.

Update: Central Pennsylvania Humane Society is working on this case now that we've reported it. They were out there both Saturday and Sunday, March 6-7 with the police. Yesterday we went to see if the dogs were still there. They were, but there were two vehicles there an they were cleaning up some of the feces. They pulled two dogs out of there, the chihuahua and the matted white dog. The humane officer is going back out now, March 8, to force them to get vet care of give up the dogs, so he tells us.

Problem is, it's still not illegal to take a dog and chain it up out in the woods. THIS MUST BE STOPPED! IF YOU LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA, PLEASE MAKE THE PHONE CALLS TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PLEASE JOIN OUR COALITION AT http://www.unchainpadogs.com/.

Tell the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society to release dogs to Dogs Deserve Better so they can be rehabilitated and find new, inside, loving homes. Did you know they have not yet joined our coalition to pass a tethering law in Pennsylvania? Tell them to join the Coalition to Unchain PA Dogs, AND to work these cruelty cases and bring them to fruition. 814.943.7575.
