Seven Dogs Chained in Pennsylvania Woods: No House, Abandoned Property

Update, April 4, 2010. As far as we know, there are currently no dogs out there. The owners claim that the last two left out there were stolen, and have been trying to pin it on Thayne. There's a good chance that Big Boy was killed at the CPHS, who has refused to state what they did with him. Their very act of refusal speaks volumes. The other two dogs were adopted from the humane society, or at least so we hear.

Update, March 15, 2010: Two dogs STILL wait for help out in the woods. The black dog and the blind St. Bernard mix. Central Pennsylvania Humane Society will not release the other three dogs to rescue groups. We are demanding to know what they have done with Big Boy, who they claim is unavailable for adoption. He deserves better than life in a chain and death in a shelter.

Update, March 10, 2010: Thayne, the founder of Dogs Deserve Better, is being charged with trespassing for helping these dogs get the care they needed! And what are the abusers getting? Nothing, AGAIN.

Update, March 9, 2010: Update on the 7 dogs off Gypsy Hollow Rd. Tyrone, PA. We believe the chainers took the smaller dogs, the chihuahua and the matted dog. We think the humane officer took the dog with the tumor, the girl with the female problems, and the black and tan dog. There are STILL two dogs on the property: The black dog who rolls over for a belly rub, and the blind St. Bernard mix. He says he was unable to pull these two because it's NOT ILLEGAL to take a dog out to a piece of property where no one lives, there's not even a house or a mailbox, and chain them up for life. This is WRONG! Join our coalition to change the law if you're a Pennsylvania resident at http://www.unchainpadogs.com

How long, Pennsylvania? How long must chained dogs wait for a law protecting them from this abuse? Dogs Deserve Better had heard rumors of dogs chained in the mountains off Gypsy Camp Hollow Rd. in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. An anonymous tip gave us the location, and we went out there to investigate. We found seven dogs, all suffering in a variety of ways: all full of hook and whip worms, one blind dog, one with a big tumor, one severely matted, and the worst one with a major back end physical issue. One dog died during the January cold snap.

Please help us pass a law that will stop these abusers from torturing anymore dogs! Join our coalition today at http://www.unchainpadogs.com. Contact your local Pennsylvania State House Reps and Senators and tell them, NO MORE! The abuse stops here and now.

Update: Central Pennsylvania Humane Society is working on this case now that we've reported it. They were out there both Saturday and Sunday, March 6-7 with the police. Yesterday we went to see if the dogs were still there. They were, but there were two vehicles there an they were cleaning up some of the feces. They pulled two dogs out of there, the chihuahua and the matted white dog. The humane officer is going back out now, March 8, to force them to get vet care of give up the dogs, so he tells us.

Problem is, it's still not illegal to take a dog and chain it up out in the woods. THIS MUST BE STOPPED! IF YOU LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA, PLEASE MAKE THE PHONE CALLS TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, AND PLEASE JOIN OUR COALITION AT HTTP://WWW.UNCHAINPADOGS.COM.

[333naruto]

are there still any dogs out there???

[tammyddb]

@333naruto Yes, as far as I know, there is still the blind dog and the black dog who rolled over to be belly rubbed.

[UL0G]

I truly hope you called the SPCA immediately. I hope this video was just to shed light on this terrible situation.

[tammyddb]

@UL0G Of course I did. Did you see the end? They did take three of the dogs, but didn't charge with ANY cruelty. Left two dogs chained out there.

[MetaKittie]

These dogs have totally captured my heart. They deserve better.

[letteronetwo]

Oh come on dogs shouldnt be outside all day and all night long, thats just insane! No matter if its a small dog or a big dog they should be inside and be taking out for walks not be chained to a three their whole life. Im glad I have never seen people done like this I would get so angry and I would not have the strenght to control myself like you all who work with this do.

It shouldn't happen to "man's best friend," but it does.

[dale3858]

[Allstarweekend9224]

You knew they were like this and all you done was make a damn YouTube video. Really. Your flat out stupid. Take them to a shelter

[Allstarweekend9224]

I'm not against with leaving dogs outside 24/7 I had a coonhound recently died. Live 14 years Witch I long for a coonhound that's hunted like him. And I have a beagle. The have secure boxes outdoor lights always water and food and winter we pack their boxes daily with straw. Always have had hounds outside and Pennsylvania is a hunting state so alot of dogs stay outside. Yeah these dogs are abused. But I wanna know why in the fuck did YOU just leave them there

[rebecca1257]
