(Aliquippa, PA) Almost two dozen dogs were chained and left outside during the winter storm in Aliquippa over the weekend. Twenty-three dogs were found outside a home. According to police, they suspect the animals were used for illegal dog fighting. These animals are now recovering at the Beaver County Humane Society and they will spend a minimum of two weeks there. The animal shelter in Aliquippa is asking families to consider either fostering other dogs or to donate their money, pet supplies or time. You can do so by visiting the shelter at their Brodhead Road location or by going to their website at beavercountyhumanesociety.org.
