Help poured into the Bedford County Humane Society on Monday morning after the shelter rescued more than 90 animals overnight from a home in Bedford County.

While in the process of rescuing the pets late Sunday night, the humane society took to Facebook to ask for help and supplies, stating that volunteers should arrive as early as 8 a.m. and wear old clothing. The community didn’t disappoint as more than 100 volunteers and loads of food, bedding, blankets and more were dropped off Monday at the society’s home at 182 Bohn Road, Bedford.

The conditions at the home were reported as deplorable, with a state police news release stating the dogs were living in cages stacked from floor to ceiling. The animals — 90 dogs, eight cats and a turtle — were removed from the home. There were multiple animal carcasses found as well, police reported.

State police at Bedford received a report Saturday of possible animal cruelty at 1057 Business Route 220, Bedford.

At that time, police attempted to make contact with the property owners with negative results, however, when approaching the home, police noticed the overwhelming smell of dog feces outside. When police knocked on the door, multiple dogs were heard inside.

Police returned to the home on Sunday and made contact with the property owners, an 82-year-old man and 62-year-old woman, the report states.

While talking with the duo, police could see multiple dogs in the backyard. The dogs appeared to be covered in feces, dirty and one had open wounds on its ears, police reported.

The owners told police they had between 15-16 dogs, but then said there might be 60 dogs in the residence.

A search turned up considerably more, with police noting the animals appeared to be malnourished and covered in feces and urine.

The animals were removed from the home with the assistance of the Olde Bedford Vet Clinic, Brackenridge Veterinary, Central PA Humane Society, Bedford County Humane Society and multiple human society volunteers, police reported.

The Bedford County Humane Society is the main organization handling the case, but at least seven humane societies from surrounding counties, including Blair, Huntingdon and Somerset, offered to take in dogs and provide care as needed.

Joe Zolna, board president of the Central Pa. group, told WTAJ that most of the dogs were alive, but the condition of each individual dog was unclear. Zolna said it was the worst case he’s seen.

On its Facebook page, the Central Pa. Humane Society said its veterinarians were performing surgeries Monday to remove feces-coated fur on many dogs. The post said that the feces were solidified in the dogs’ fur and could not just be removed through baths.

Police were on scene at the BCHS Monday morning, documenting the extent of the abuse and the specific conditions of each dog, the report states.

The investigation is ongoing.

Both the Central Pa. Humane Society and the Bedford County Humane Society are in need of donations and volunteers as the dogs will need continued care and housing. Both have links on their Facebook pages with lists of what to donate and how to get it to the shelters.

A GoFundMe account was created to help support the shelters as well and reached nearly $4,000 as of Monday evening.
