Two Jeannette neighbors were charged Tuesday with neglect of animals after five pit bulls were found without water last year and infected with parasites, according to court papers.
Investigators said the animals belonged to Dale A. Shaw, 65, and Elaine Decker, no age available, was their caretaker. Both live on Chestnut Street.
The animals were discovered July 23 after police were called to Shaw’s property when one of the dogs broke free from its chain and attacked another dog, according to court papers. Shaw was notified to take the injured animal to a veterinarian, but failed to do so, police said.
