There’s nothing like a parking lot of homeless puppies on a Saturday in Tarentum.
But it’s a typical occurrence at Paws Across Pittsburgh, which is celebrating its fifth year of animal rescues, now topping more than 2,000 dogs and 740 cats.
Paws Across Pittsburgh is a nonprofit that is a foster-based rescue where animals go straight into foster homes. There is no shelter. However, some cats are kept at the organization’s Tarentum headquarters before they are fostered.
On Saturday, the rescue received about 27 animals, including 20 puppies, seven older dogs and four cats. They came from animal shelters in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, said Jackie Armour, president of Paws Over Pittsburgh.

One of the final details on Burrell School District’s $1.8 million renovation of Buccaneer Stadium painting lines on the track remains on hold until there’s a window of warmer and dry weather.
“It’s a great surface,” said Drake D’Angelo, Burrell’s athletic director. “We will be excited to use the track at full force when everything is completed.”

The décor at Lower Burrell’s Fisher Hall was getting a bit too rustic for the times, so a city councilwoman and the public works department are working on a face-lift for one of the city popular social halls.
Located in Burrell Lake Park, Fisher Hall is the go-to venue for showers, graduations and other small events for 75 people or less.
However, the rustic, rough cut wood paneling hasn’t aged well and has been difficult to clean and keep clean, said Rosina Albanese, the Lower Burrell councilwoman leading the renovation project.
