PLEASE READ!!!
If charges aren’t filed within 30 days, evidence may become dismissible!!!!

***Edit to add: this is not the responsibility of the humane society in any way. They are only there to house animals and report neglect to the proper authorities. After that, it is up to those authorities to take it further. The humane society does not deserve the back lash for this.****

On June 11 around 4:00pm, I got a call from Cassidy Berkheimer (who was fostering Max- the Siberian husky). She had vet references. She lives on 10th street in Altoona. She was hysterically crying and said her house caught on fire and there was one surviving dog who needed seen. After speaking to the doctor, I told her to bring him in. A family member brought the dog in. (Then shorty after, Cassidy reported him missing🤨) He had f***s stuck in his fur and he was malnourished. When authorities arrived to the scene, they realized this was more than just a fire. There were 46 CONFIRMED dead animal remains. 95% of them had been dead and decaying prior to the fire. Authorities believe most of them were decaying for months, even years. The others were unidentifiable because they were just bones and/or a skull. There were BOXES of dead animals in every room. There were animals decaying in cages and the bathtub . Including dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, chickens, and hamsters. Rachel Feaster who also resided at the residence said her girlfriend (Cassidy) and her buried many animals in the back yard. I spoke to Logan who is the assistant manager of the Central PA Humane Society this evening. He said he has never smelled or seen something so horrendous in his life. They had to scrape decaying animals from the floors. There was one dog in specific who had died in a cage in the basement and the wire cage was folded back together with the deceased dog still inside. Flattened and decaying.
On June 12, I was in contact with the breeder of the only surviving dog. She said Cassidy had contacted her that morning in regards to getting another puppy.
What are the authorities doing? Nothing. The fire is not even on the news. I would like to add that only a handful of pictures were taken. Authorities did not even make a point to take photos for evidence. She is also part of the military. We NEED to spread the word and get media coverage for something to be done. Call the Central PA Humane Society, call the Altoona police department, call EVERYONE. Cassidy and Rachel deserve to rot for what they’ve done. Come to find out this also is not the first time they have been caught for hoarding and abusing animals. PLEASE spread the word. Share this post. Don’t stop until something is done. These animals suffered horribly. Their skulls and bones left to decay. We are their voice.

Please everyone quit giving our number out and telling ppl we assist with vet bills or pay others vet bills! WE DO NOT PROVIDE THIS SERVICE!!!! We also will not go to anyone’s house and trap cats nor kittens! WE ARE FULL!!!!!! Yes we trapped momma and babies tonight but we have been working on these cats for a month now and the only reason we did it was because they have somewhere for them to go!!!! Our finances are low and we can’t help anyone right now as we still have outstanding vet bills! Totaling 5,000 and we just paid Metzger 30,000 dollars! We are sorry it has to be this way but we just can’t do it anymore! Maybe in the near future when we get a building, we can help much more with animals and maybe help people in need. But for right now we need to get our account up and start saving for that building so we can start saving more animals lives. Right now we do not have the funds to do any of that. We received six phone calls today of people wanting us to go trap cats at their homes we will not do that there’s other sources out there most rescues and shelters are full. We are sorry for the inconvenience! We still have Cats in our Rescue that are looking for forever homes, and until all our rescue cats find homes, we will not be taking any cats in at all.

We have someone taking 3 to 4 kittens tomorrow. This is Momma and her babies that was across the street at Kwikfill On S. 2nd St. in Clearfield by looking at the pictures I took today there may be two more kittens there. I do have traps set with cameras. Hopefully we get them tonight. I need somebody if they can please take the remainder Kittens and Momma as we cannot take any more into Animals Matter, I will personally help with vetting. We were getting a lot of complaints that they were running out on the road and almost getting hit. We also have to check on mama and babies across the river from there tomorrow. Not sure where we’re going to put all these kittens but we definitely cannot take them in so we’re trying to place them wherever we can. We do have another girl saying she can help with a couple so please let us know if anyone can help I have to have them placed tomorrow.

We have not seen the kittens across from kwikFill for two weeks. We decided to come down to see if we can find them again. There is a total 5 to 6 Kittens we need to get them out of here. Can anybody help if I trap them? Please let me know if you can take this family 😭😭 we can’t leave them here they will get speared on the road as they are in a parking lot beside main hwy. I will personally help vet them but we can’t put them thru animals matter. I hate to do this, but if I can’t find anybody to find this family, I’m gonna have to let them go. I cannot have any cats at my house. Please help.

06/25/2024

We stopped today to see if we could see them because we have not seen them. We’ve been checking periodically we see one kitten if I trap it can somebody take it and we still have the Kitten from out by Walmart that needs placed

Wow!!! WoW!! WOW!!!

We had an amazing night last night at Bingo. Over 60 players, supporters and volunteers came out and enjoyed a fun night of Bingo! We cannot thank everyone enough for their continued support through moving to our new awesome venue, the Premier Wedding and Event Center.

We hope to continue to keep the attendance up and provide a place that you can bring your family and friends for a good night out. Many of us who have been attending since the beginning have now become close friends and we love meeting new ones.

Our animal friends need our help and the next big goal we hope to achieve is to build a small no-kill shelter. We would be able to help even more animals than we already have. We want to have a positive impact in the community and bring more awareness to animal cruelty and do our best to make it stop and get justice for the animals.

Again, THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you to everyone who supports us through attending Bingo, donating the many times we have asked, our fosters, those who share our posts, everyone who calls or messages when they see animals in need and anyone who loves animals as much as we do. Our Animals Matter community is awesome and we love all of you.

06/24/2024

Update! We have been told that this pup has been in the same spot for at least 2 to 3 days. The pup is very scared and skittish and runs from everyone. So we don’t like to assume but when dogs stay in one spot like that it indicates they are dumped! We saw the dog and it’s just pacing the woodline. We have a trap set! Prayers we can get this one safe also. It’s a full blooded brown and white collie. If anyone has any information on an owner please call me at 814-761-0370 hopefully we can get this pup trapped 🤞🤞

Is anybody missing a Collie last scene on 104th Calvary Rd., Clearfield we are here trying to find it would not go to finder. Call 814-761-0370 if this is your dog.

WE CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE YOUR DOGS AT HOME!!!!!!!

WE CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE YOUR DOGS AT HOME!!!!!!!

JUST A REMINDER, TO ALL DOG OWNERS.

⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the UK die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.
