Description: Received call from Bruce Barton, Monroe EMA about PSP on scene at a property with 22 dogs in serious condition, 1 dead horse and 1 alive. PSP wants them removed immediately. Location was in Bangor, Northampton County. After some discussion we forwarded information on the dog wardens, Humane officers of Phila and a group that might be able to help with vet care. PSP then decided not to remove the animals until all the paperwork was provided. Our help was not needed at this time. 22 dogs, 1 horse, 2 birds and a cat were seized from the property the next day. Owner was arrested.
