Back in June, two men in central Pennsylvania were taken into custody after leading police on a chase through Northumberland County, while driving a livestock truck full of goats and sheep.
Now two months later, the 27 animals are up for adoption. Authorities say they were on their way to the slaughterhouse but instead found themselves at the Pennsylvania SPCA near Danville.
Shelter manager Carlee Fiddes says the animals were in bad shape. Four of the animals died. The remaining 27 were brought to the shelter near Danville.
The owners surrendered them to the SPCA because of the high medical expenses. Now they are up for adoption. All six sheep and nine of the goats are at the center in Montour County. The rest are at the main facility in Philadelphia.
Both of the suspects for that crash are still in jail waiting for their court hearings.
If you are interested in adopting any of the animals, you are asked to contact the Pennsylvania SPCA Center near Danville.
