Altoona Police Investigate Animal Cruelty Case

Altoona police are investigating an animal cruelty case in Altoona involving four pit bulls.

The dogs were taken to the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society Tuesday.

A Central Pennsylvania police officer said two of the dogs are in good shape but the other two are pretty skinny.

The director said the dogs have been eating since they arrived and will be examined by a vet.

Police took the dogs from 2015 16th Ave.

Officers said neighbors called to complain about the dogs barking.

Neighbors said they never saw the owner, Edwin Feliciano, walk the dogs.

They said he leaves the dogs alone weeks at a time.

Police condemned the house after they found it covered in feces. The dogs were found in separate rooms.

Police said Feliciano has a Brooklyn, NY address.

The dogs will remain in the care of the shelter.
