(Erie, PA) A total of 29 dogs and four horses were rescued from a property in Pennsylvania where they had been abandoned, according to the ANNA Shelter.

The Erie-based shelter said in a Facebook post Wednesday that Pennsylvania State Police contacted staff Monday evening about a property where dogs and horses had been left behind. While some animals had already died, the remaining animals needed immediate help.

The nearly three dozen animals had no food or water and were living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, the shelter said. On Tuesday morning, staff members removed the dogs and horses in what the organization described as its largest large-scale rescue of 2026.

Because of an ongoing investigation, the shelter said it could not provide additional details.

The shelter also thanked BB’s Truck and Auto Service Inc. for helping during the rescue effort. Staff said their box truck would not start Monday night while they were preparing to load the animals. A repair crew arrived around 4 p.m., diagnosed the issue, ordered a part and had the vehicle running again by 5:15 p.m.

All of the animals will be available for adoption once they are cleared by veterinarians, the shelter said.
