Charges dismissed against owner of kennel in Berks County

PENNSYLVANIA -- A Berks County district judge has dismissed all charges against a kennel owner who had been accused of animal cruelty.

Paul Ober was charged in May with five counts of animal cruelty after the Pennsylvania SPCA responded to his Celtic Farms and Kennels Inc. in Penn Township and found several dogs it said were in poor health.

 

Ober surrendered the dogs, one of which had to be put down, officials said.

The PSPCA declined to release additional information at the time the charges were filed.
