Horrific goings on at Dogtown Ranch Sanctuary Rescue and Rehab in Rockdale, Texas. The Houston Press has published two articles on the mass animal deaths and abuse going on daily at Dogtown Ranch Sanctuary Rescue and Rehab in Rockdale, Milam County, Texas:
The article describes horrific events including dog fights, starvation, heat and cold exposure which has resulted in many deaths, lack of clean drinking water, open wounds and no medical care. The Milam County sheriff's department has ignored pleas for help and has torn up every complaint filed about the abuse and cruelty occurring every day at Dogtown Ranch.
From the article: "Dozens of harrowing stills and videos, gathered between August 2025 and March 2026 and shared with the Houston Press by Dogtown visitors show squalid living conditions: feces and urine covering floors and kennels; and a dead pitbull decomposing on a kennel floor, in front of other dogs jammed into the same room.The former volunteers and donors who spoke with the Press for this story asked that their names not be used, citing fear of retaliation by Sera.
There are photos of charred dog carcasses left to bake in the sun on piles of burnt scrap. There are screenshots of text messages between volunteers discussing dogs escaping the property, only to be killed in highway traffic. Written complaints to the Sheriff’s Office allege a history of fatal dogfights and lack of medical care that leaves some dogs with gaping wounds. And in the midst of another scorching summer, volunteers fear for the safety of the dogs who bring in thousands of dollars in boarding fees for Dogtown’s owner, Angela Sera."
We are concerned for the dogs still at Dogtown Ranch Sanctuary Rescue and Rehab which bills itself as "the last chance for the abused and discarded." Instead, these poor animals pictured in the videos and photographs met a horrible fate worse than death.
Please share the petition and articles in hopes that there is some form of law enforcement that can override the local county who claim there is no crime, no cruelty, no death, no starvation, no extreme heat exposure or freezing temperatures in the winter with no protection. Where is the justice for these animals still suffering at Dogtown Ranch?
