(Aliquippa, PA) The Beaver County Humane Society is asking for the help of its community as they care for 23 dogs rescued on January 25th from an Aliquippa residence as part of an investigation into alleged animal cruelty and dogfighting. According to criminal complaints filed against two men on March 17th by Aliquippa City Police, many of the dogs had serious facial, teeth and limb injuries, some of which required surgery, as well as puncture wounds in various stages of healing and some infected. The animals have received veterinary care and are being cared for by the staff of the animal shelter, but their costs have already exceeded $50,000, straining its finances as it continues to care for them and the other animals living at the shelter. Monetary donations can be made at beavercountyhumanesociety.org, which is where you can find information about business hours and more. Purchases of “wish list” items and gift cards can be made online or dropped off at the Center Township shelter.
