Target: Northumberland County District Attorney Tony Matulewicz, Pennsylvania
Goal: Ensure full prosecution of individual reportedly responsible for severe neglect and abuse of ten dogs causing serious injuries.
A woman was charged with animal cruelty after ten dogs were reportedly found living in deplorable condition and suffering from severe neglect. The dogs were allegedly kept in an apartment filled with fecal matter, urine odor, and lacking proper veterinary care. One dog reportedly had a nail embedded two centimeters into its paw pad, causing significant pain and infection.
Upon investigation, authorities reportedly discovered dogs with unpleasant smelling coats infested with fleas, injuries consistent with dog fighting, and severe medical issues such as missing eyelids and facial nerve damage. The dogs were allegedly deprived of necessary veterinary care and sanitary shelter, leading to their deteriorated health conditions.
This alarming situation highlights a critical need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent such severe neglect and abuse. Ensuring that the individual reportedly responsible is fully prosecuted will send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. Demand that authorities take decisive legal action to protect animals from future harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Tony Matulewicz,
I am writing to express deep concern over the suspected case of severe animal neglect involving ten dogs reportedly found in deplorable conditions in Shamokin. The animals were reportedly kept in an apartment filled with fecal matter and strong odors of urine, suffering from serious injuries and lacking necessary veterinary care.
Investigations have reportedly revealed that one dog had a nail embedded deeply into its paw pad, while others suffered from infections, flea infestations, and injuries consistent with dog fighting. These distressing details highlight a potentially severe breach of animal welfare laws and raise serious concerns about the well-being of these innocent animals.
I urge your office to thoroughly investigate this matter and to fully prosecute the individual reportedly responsible for this suspected neglect and abuse. Taking decisive legal action will demonstrate a commitment to justice and help prevent future incidents of animal cruelty. Please ensure that those responsible are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

She’s garbage read my comments below
She was charged misdemeanors and a few petty tickets. NOT ENOUGH!!! jail is where she should be
This is my landlord who just made me and my dog’s homeless in this cold that’s getting ready to happen I have two dogs one of which I rescue from up there and the house smells disgusting I’ve lived in a hoarders Paradise for her she just attacked me today and the police say that it’s perfectly fine because she owns the house she’s a real piece of sssHhhhiiii she also has six or seven dogs over at 1114 Willow Street right up the road from 74 West mulberry the animal control don’t really seem to care about they don’t do their job apparently and the police here are crap they basically so she can do whatever she wants to me and that’s just perfectly fine she’s threatening to kill my dogs
704 not 74 she has people trying to attack me and harass me all for wanting to save those babies she’s insane and the police say it’s perfectly fine what she’s doing and she has everybody convinced that I’m lying and she doesn’t have any charges that she didn’t that the animal control and the veterinarians are lying too
She didn’t threatened to kill your dogs how about you using her and YOU attacking her today and shoving her turning off her power turning her hot water off your telling people what you want them to know not the whole story and not knowing the truth
How is she your landlord when you have not even paid her anything for rent? You are the one that chose to do this to yourself. Nobody else but your own. Also those dogs are not even registered to her 😉 so try again hunny. LMFAO she attacked you more like you attacked her and shoved her! You are seriously loosing your marbles buddy. Also she never threaten to kill ANY animal for your information! If I remember correctly you have a video floating around about how you poisoned a neighbor’s animal???
Haha this must be her daughter who’s her neighbor or her little husband or her little son you know one of her little minions that completely excuse her nasty behavior that’s okay I think the 400 signatures on here will say something different and I think once I talk to the DA and I’m willing to show him what I got I’ll totally have her have a great day
I looooove how you obviously can’t tell the truth and lies out of the a**. Harassment after harassing a poor old lady that you destroyed her life and just because you aren’t happy you have to destroy others. How about get a job, act your age not your shoe size and carry on with your life and let this poor lady alone. You physically abused her by putting your hands on her today. Mentally abused her and emotionally. You took her fur babies away when that was her world. All because you couldn’t get your way and acted like a baby. You’re what? 40 years old?????? Also let me add you vandalizing her property from inside and out and damaging all belongings she had. Again because you can’t get your way. You don’t like living there f****** leave already instead of being a leatch and using people left and right!!! May I also add that you owe many and I mean many people money and stealing from others and lies about paying back when never did such a thing!!!! May I also add that you have a shitty criminal background!!! -Go Get A Life-
Haha she has way more charges than I have ever in my life now and I only had one charge until recently and those are getting dismissed so how about you know it’s pretty obvious that you’re one of her little family members or little friends that are defending her I don’t think anybody on this page is going to even listen to what you got to say poor little old lady yeah how about you just have the day you deserve along with your nasty stupid ugly just disgusting person named Terry Joe mapes
You should rethink that Latisha. Shall we discuss your warrants and charges across multiple states ?? You are a crap stain on the underwear of life. Maybe it’s time to stop trashing everyone that is tired of being used by you and grow up. Start taking some responsibility for your own shit instead of blaming everyone else for the messes YOU make. You reap what you sow, that’s why you keep finding yourself in these situations. Quit being trash.
Actually I know that both of them and I can tell you that I’ve seen personally what this lady does to this young man so don’t listen to what this person has to say because they’re irrelevant there is nothing that these people can say that is going to make these charges just disappear they can keep trying to excuse with this lady has done but she is treated this poor dude so horribly I have seen it personally I have seen a lot of proof of exactly what this lady is like so don’t let anybody try to fool you and young man you stay strong. We will be at court on the 29th to see her go down and I also have witnessed a lot with those dogs up there that this lady has no idea that I have so how about that. And how about the disgusting squalor she’s made this young man live in the nasty smell that comes from two or three people’s yards away from that nasty house go ahead and keep trying to defend this lady but it’s not going to help her in the end. Like this young man said you have the day you deserve. Even her own neighbor that’s not her daughter wants that house condemned and can’t stand her and her son because they’re disgusting just rude people and they seem to think that they can just do whatever they want to whoever they want and that’s not going to keep happening.
If they were her world then I don’t think that these charges would be existing for one and she’ll find out in court exactly who called and she’s going to feel real stupid and so will you because this young man did not make that call and did not get her “world” taken away that’s laughable at best. And he doesn’t owe anybody any money that hasn’t screwed him over when you don’t treat people right and you screw them over why would they pay anything and actually he maintained that property for her he’s done a lot y’all can listen to whatever is coming out of her mouth but the truth will come out blindness must just be so hard for you guys
Yeah I actually doubt you guys would feel stupid you know I thought about that after I said it because you guys are apparently just completely dumb blind and enabling.
I can’t speak for the condition of this ladies house, but I know for a fact that Tanner is a trouble making bullshit liar. I know plenty of others he has screwed over since being in this area, and a little search will tell you Latisha has been in trouble everywhere he/she goes. There are multiple warrants in multiple states for multiple things. He is NOT a good person and sure as hell does NOT maintain anyone’s property. This person uses people until they get sick of it and then screws them over anyway he can. He doesn’t work and doesn’t care about anyone but himself. All I can say is if this POS has you blinded I’m sorry for you, cause you will get the same thing everyone else close to him gets. Screwed over. Careful who you side with cause this scumbag has built a life out of tearing good people down just because he is a self serving narcissist scum.
Oh wow. From long ago. Yup lets keep trashing someone who has done none of what you say. Clearly Terrie is trying to as always be some poor little old lady. Pretty sure theae charges apeak for themselves as to who she is and what she is really like so pretty sure anyone even read these comments isn’t going to even listen to a word you guys have to say because the charges like I said speak for themselves and it’s pretty clear what’s going on in these comments so like I said before have the day that everybody deserves I have literally been either on the phone on the video call or in that house whenever this poor little old lady has done all this crappy has done to this young man
This young “man” is a steaming pile of fecal matter. You can believe whatever you want. Drink Letitia’s koolaid clown. You will find out soon enough what kind of person shim is. Letitia’s charges stand and speak for themselves too. He is a turd that uses and shits on EVERYONE that helps him. That’s a FACT like it or not. Tanner has built his own bed screwing people over. But by all means keep defending him not knowing a thing of which you speak about.
Anyone believing anything Tanner says is as dumb as shim is. That trash does nothing but create trouble and chaos for ANYONE it comes in contact with. I can’t believe there are people defending shim. You will see. When tanner burns you and he will burn you. That trash is a user and when he can’t get anything from you anymore you will be in the same situation as the lady being trashed by him. He makes obsurd accusations and threats after eating people out of house and home, running up their bills and messing up their place, all while not working and free loading. This filth has outstanding warrants across the states and rest assured karma is gonna catch this He-Bitch reall soon.
Hey Latisha if the house is filthy and smells like shit maybe you should have listened and moved out when the lady told you too. She tried to take out the shit but you refuse to leave. Now you’re pissed because you burned yet ANOTHER person and they are done with you. Here is a clue, take your head out of your ass and stop being a piece of garbage. Try being the good person you claim to be instead of a self serving egotistical ass that uses everyone you meet.
Hello Letitia 👋🏼
It you weren’t happy living there and bitched about the living situation why the heck would you even stay? Oh wait, because you used yet another victim. Also so you can use yet another person and get away with it and not do your part by helping with living in someone else’s home. You want everything FREE and handed to you like the world owes you everything. Well it doesn’t. All you do is constantly use people left and right. Go get your own place or go bum off yet another person. 😉
A traffic ticket warrant from 5 yeara ago and one warrant from OVER TEN YEARS ago is what this young man has so how about we just focus on the bigger picture and stop trying to throw shade on people’s victims. Nobody reading his comments is even going to listen to a word you guys have said. Because facts speak for themselves. Hopefully you get in jail that’s all we know that’s all we care about all 400 and almost 30 people in this post who have sign that petition. Those numbers are just going to go up and starting Monday calls are going to start pouring in for this guy for the district attorney for him to go harsh on you. There will be no more replies.
You know NOTHING there is A LOT more than a traffic ticket and warrant from 5 years ago. There are multiple active warrants for much MUCH worse. I don’t know why you are on tanners imaginary d**k but you should spit it out and look up facts before you defend that moron. I know for fact and first hand experience wtf that scumbag is and is all about. But keep preaching until it’s you he has screwed.
Well I don’t know either of them and I can tell you from reading these comments it just sounds like somebody has some clowns that are helping her not take any accountability for who she is and how she is that’s the only thing that I’m seeing in these comments. And from the looks of it let’s just do a narcissistic smear campaign as well that’s all this is I’m sure your day is coming in court and I’m sure that’s going to show exactly who you are and as for somebody supposedly taking her world away all I can say is she wouldn’t have treated her world like they’re saying that those dogs lived in I’m sure more will come to light when Court happens but I’m just noticing a pattern here. I guess you’re going to attack me too for agreeing with nobody but just saying how I’m seeing this comment section play out. Go ahead I have no issues with that. Anyone defending her should feel pretty embarrassed about that that’s all I’m saying from what I’ve read what she’s done to those dogs the ASPCA wouldn’t lie about that. And that 1,231 signatures that are on there also would not be out to prosecute to the fullest if they wouldn’t have found really bad conditions. Thats the truth.
Agreed. Whatever drama is playing out here doesn’t address the poor dogs abuse and deplorable conditions. It doesn’t help them, nor bring them justice, which is what matters. Seems the dog fighting wasn’t limited to the dogs.
You would be correct this person if they’re trashing in the comments is simply being trashed for speaking up for these animals and I can verify that none of what’s said is true so you’re right it’s not doing anything for these animals all it’s doing is trying to take focus off of her and put it on someone else which is totally narcissistic so as you can tell it definitely plays out to more than just animals that this lady is like this to. I would be super embarrassed to sit here and defend someone like her and even more embarrassed to sit and try and trash somebody for being a good person and trying to do the right thing
