(Center Twp., Beaver County, Pa.) The Beaver County Humane Society said via release that they rescued 11 Dogs from deplorable conditions in a Beaver Falls residence on Tuesday afternoon.
The release stated that Beaver County Humane Society Humane Officers were called by the Beaver Falls Police Department after they received a call about a dog running at
large. Neighbors identified the dog and provided information that led the police
to the Beaver Falls residence. Upon arriving at the property, three of the dogs
were seen standing on the windowsill of a second story open window.
Officers said that all of the animals lacked access to clean water, dirty food was strewn around, there were feces, urine, and trash covering the floors; and flies were swarming around the animals.

“It was clear to our officers that these animals needed to be immediately removed from the filthy environment where they were living so they could receive medical treatment and care,” commented Susan Salyards, Executive Director of the Beaver County Humane Society.
“A number of the dogs were dehydrated, underweight, and are suffering from medical
issues including overgrown nails and dirty coats with fecal staining and a stale odor of urine.”
In addition to the filthy living conditions, several animal carcasses, including the decaying body of a dog, were also found at the residence.
“Brittany Sanner and Essence Jackson were arrested and charged with six felonies for
aggravated cruelty to animals, 11 misdemeanors for cruelty to animals, and 11
misdemeanors for neglect of an animal living in unsanitary conditions,” Salyards said.
The good news is that most, if not all, of the animals are expected to fully recover. The bad news is that the Humane Society is bursting at the seams, especially
with homeless dogs.
These animals are not available for immediate adoption as they are being medically
evaluated. “The need is going to be ongoing. Over the next week or two, our team will
be doing medical and behavior evaluations of all the animals taken in,” Salyards said.
The mother dog and three newborn puppies are being sent to foster care.Salyard’s said that “This confiscation comes at one of Beaver County Humane Society’s busiest times and they are  accepting all of the help they can get. Salyard’s said the Humane Society is glad to provide these vital services as our way of serving the community, but humane cases are taxing on financial resources. Monetary donations to the TLC Fund are urgently needed to cover the costs for these extra animals; however, donations of dog and puppy food (Purina One or any meat-based food) and supplies for the ferret are always welcome.
The Humane Society is averaging $150/dog in vet care and that does not include those who need bloodwork, X-rays, dentals, biopsies, etc. It also does not include daily costs, which currently run about $50/day,” reported Salyards
Other ways to help include becoming a volunteer or a temporary foster home; anyone interested should visit their web site. Donations can be made to the shelter at https://beavercountyhumanesociety.org
Salyard’s said the BCHS thanks the Beaver Falls Police and Code Enforcement Departments for their incredible teamwork and collaboration with our humane society police officers.
