Ms Cole said she had been trapping dogs alongside her partner for about 20 rescue service works with a drone company to locate lost and stray District Council said that anyone who encounters a lost or stray dog should check the area for an owner before reporting the dog to them.

44 dogs living in deplorable conditions rescued from Harford County home, sheriff says
Dozens of dogs were rescued from inhumane conditions inside a home in Harford County, according to the sheriff's office. The Harford County Sheriff's Office received a tip about animal cruelty and neglect at a home on Eagles Grove Court in Whiteford. "No water, feces in the cage and the house, and the house was hot," Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said. "As far as domestic animals, it is the most disgusting case we have dealt with." More than 40 dogs, mostly pit mixes, were taken from the home and brought to the Humane Society of Harford County, where they were each vetted and vaccinated. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but most of them were in pretty good condition," said Erin Long, with the Humane Society of Harford County. "Most of them were wagging and very happy to see us." Sheriff Gahler said there haven't been any arrests, but as the investigation continues, charges may be coming. "When you have a domesticated animal, you're taking on that responsibility when you have one," Gahler said. "When you have 44, you are taking on that responsibility 44 times to provide the proper care that is required, food, water, living conditions, and that was not being done in this case." The Humane Society of Harford County was already at capacity before more than three dozen dogs were brought to the facility. They are asking the public to donate treats, toys, towels, or money to help cover the costs. You can donate by visiting this website. The dogs could go up for adoption once the investigation is complete.

Several dogs found neglected inside camper in Oakdale, suspect facing more than 50 charges
A man facing more than 50 charges of animal cruelty was taken into custody early on Saturday morning in Washington County. According to Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus's office, 36-year-old Joshua Humes was taken into custody Sunday morning after he was charged by North Fayette Township Police with animal neglect and cruelty charges. Police received a tip that several dogs were inside a parked camper on Noblestown Road in Oakdale. Along with the tip, police were provided with photos that revealed the dogs were in small cages that were in deplorable condition. Buildups of feces, urine, and rotting food could be seen in photos, indicating that the dogs had not received proper care in a long time. "The details of the lack of care provided to these dogs and the indifference toward their suffering are egregious, and quite frankly, sickening," said Sheriff Kraus. "I consider anyone who engages in this type of conduct to be a danger to the community, and I commend our detectives for their quick work to locate him and get him off the streets." Acting on the tip, North Fayette Township Police went to the camper and removed the dogs with the help of a humane officer. They were also able to ascertain that Humes was the owner of the camper and the dogs. It was originally agreed that Humes would surrender to police on Monday, but detectives learned that he was planning to leave the area over the weekend. An investigation found that he had gone to a trailer in Bulger, Pa., Washington County. Around 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, Humes was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Allegheny County Jail. Humes is facing more than 30 charges of neglect of animals, more than 10 charges of cruelty to animals, and six charges of aggravated cruelty to animals.
