(Aliquippa, PA) Charges have been filed against two people in connection with a suspected dog-fighting ring in Beaver County. According to The Beaver County Humane Society, Ronald Kidder and Terry Decarlos have been charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty and neglect after 23 dogs were seized from an Aliquippa property. Officials stated that the dogs were found during the severe snowstorm that swept through the area on January 25th, 2026. The humane society will continue to care for the dogs and will continue to do so until the owners give up their rights. The dogs will eventually be put up for adoption. Court papers confirm that Kidder and Decarlos are not in custody and that arrest warrants have been issued.
