Two Kittanning women are facing charges after six dogs were found abandoned in Butler County.

Pennsylvania State Police in Butler say six Border Collies were found abandoned at a vacant house on Queen Junction Road in Clay Township on Aug. 1.

The dogs were “filthy” and covered in their feces and urine. They were taken to a local animal shelter as strays, where veterinary exams showed some several dogs had medical issues.

PSP’s investigation found the owners of the dogs were Heidi and Tiara Dunkle. Both women are facing multiple neglect of animals and failure to license a dog charges. They’re scheduled to have a preliminary hearing at the end of August.
