Dogs left tied to front door of Washington Area Humane Society, leading to humane case investigation

A humane case investigation has begun after two dogs were tied to the front door of the Washington Area Humane Society.

In a social media post Saturday morning, the shelter said the dogs were left there early that morning in 30-degree temperatures.

The dogs reportedly chewed loose from their leash and were at large for a time. In an update Sunday, officials said the dogs were found and are now safe at the shelter.

The shelter shared photos of the dogs, the remnants of their leash and screenshots from surveillance video showing people with the dogs in the shelter parking lot.

Anyone with information about the situation is urged to call the shelter at 724-222-PETS.
