NEW SEWICKLEY TWP. ― Members of the Beaver County Humane Society (BCHS) are seeking the public's support after nine stray dogs were dumped in a wooded area of New Sewickley Township last weekend.

According to officials, the group of pit bulls were all found emaciated and without collars over a two-mile region of the township. At this time, BCHS Humane Investigations officers believe the dogs, which range in age from 6 months to 2 years old, all came from the same situation.

“Given that these dogs were recovered in roughly the same geographical area while sharing similar appearances, conditions and ages, we’re fairly certain that they are related and were dumped as a group,” said Wendi Stafford, a humane society police officer at BCHS. According to the humane society, it is illegal to abandon dogs in Pennsylvania and is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 per animal.

Abandoned dogs have received medical care

One of the pit bull puppies found emaciated and injured in New Sewickley Township last weekend. The Beaver County Humane Society is helping the timid animals recover and seeking information on the individual who abandoned them.

The nine dogs are currently stable but in dire condition as they were found to be starved, sick and in various states of injury. An additional female dog was recovered, but the dog had been in critical condition and died shortly after arriving at BCHS.

“A veterinary partner did everything they could to save this dog’s life, and we were all devastated when we heard she didn’t make it,” said Alison Yazer, executive director at BCHS. “She was so horrifically emaciated that she couldn’t stand or walk. She was suffering from severe sepsis, dangerously high blood pressure, soiled and scabbed-over skin and paws, and exposed bone – all of which directly led to her passing.”

BCHS hoping to find families to foster the dogs

The BCHS medical team is currently monitoring the surviving dogs as they work on plans for their long-term recovery and paths to adoption. The dogs are wary of humans, so any individuals interested in fostering are asked to have experience handling and caring for dogs.

“Many of these dogs are only puppies, so we really need foster families who can offer them a more comfortable place to rest,” Yazer said. “Since we provide our fosters with everything they need to care for their foster pet, we’re also asking for donations of dog food to ensure these pups are getting the nutrition they need to heal.”

Tip line for information about the dogs

Anyone with information about who may have hurt or abandoned these dogs is encouraged to contact BCHS’s Humane Investigations department at 724-775-5801, ext. 143. Anyone wanting to foster one or more dogs should contact BCHS’s Foster Coordinator at 724-775-5801, ext. 117.

Beyond fostering, the humane society also asks the public to consider donating on its website or purchasing new, unopened cans or bags of dog food for the new wave of pups in need.
