    Dogtown Ranch Clears Animal Cruelty Charges | Waco News

    A grand jury has declined to press charges against Dogtown Ranch and Sanctuary after a comprehensive investigation revealed no criminal animal cruelty — despite viral photos and videos. Over 360 images and hours of video, plus vet records, showed consistent care; 11 deputies conducted 36 unannounced inspections finding food, water, and shelter for all animals. The sheriff’s office stressed that isolated online content doesn’t reflect the full picture, and they’re still open to reviewing specific, verifiable evidence. While this criminal case is closed, separate charges for harassment and assault remain active, and the State Fire Marshal investigates an RV fire. The sheriff’s office continues to support animal rehoming and urges practical solutions for their welfare. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
