These men are dog advocates and speak on behalf of the voiceless DOGS. Todd Stephen Smith and Paul Mueller want to help free the dogs of Dog ”death” Town to uncage these dogs and then we Reunion Rescue and Justice for Spot and the dogs at Dogtown and Pamela Sue and Tomlinson's Feed and Heather Burlison and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) will find each dog a loving forever home with water actually available, not having to live in a cage, full of f***s and urine and actually getting to be a dog not a caged neglected castaway.

Our goal is simple, that no Dog is euthanized or killed or harmed, we have a zero death tolerance, which is why we need to act this is why we need help because currently the death rate is astonishing out there. 

So, after seeing my pics, they jumped in and are volunteers for the dogs, they do not get paid, they drive in at their own expense and are simply trying to help authorities act on behalf of the dogs and to do the right thing for all the people who trusted their precious dogs to this “sanctuary”,  they are representing the hundreds of people who paid thousands of dollars with the trust that they will be cared for NOT neglected. no, we’re on her website. Did it say DOGS would be created without water and only occasionally walked every few days that wasn’t on the website it says every dog will have its own little cottage with a bed with a swimming pool, very different presentation than the reality which is fraud. 🤬🥹😲

I strongly urge any supporter of Dog “death”town to go into the living room, look at the dogs,
look in their eyes,
look at how sad and scared they are.

Read their body language,
touch their hard, dry noses and see their hard paw pads and flea and tick invested skin-coat, yes they’re dehydrated,
I watched Spot lose 20lbs, Max became bones,
they slowly shrink just going one time isn’t going to cut it.
It takes multiple visits over months to notice the declining behavior of each dog and how it changes slowly overtime how they stop wagging their tails,
how they lose hope slowly rotting in a hard crate with no bedding,
and no way to lie down and NO water in the f’ing crate and then they don’t even look at you anymore and then the next visit they’ve died …..btw know that they have worms and multiple parasites robbing them of the nutrition their sweet bodies need and likely haven’t been out of the cage in days. When you let them out watch how unsocialized and how manic and how scared and desperate and they’re trying to get your attention. They don’t wanna go back in. They actually run from you and then deck their head down and tail tucked and do loyally go back in because that’s how dogs are. They’re loyal, even when abused. 

To all friends of Sera:
Please go help your friend. Why are you on social media? Go go help the dogs, go now please, go if you’re friends with her you need to go support her and help these dogs. She’s overwhelmed and she can’t do it all and doesn’t know how to walk away, hoarding is a severe mental condition and happens frequently in recovered addicts and no one is helping her no one is going in and removing the animals for her mental health, as well as, the safety and welfare of the dogs. What kind of friend are you to sit there and just judge everyone else who’s just trying to get her help, removing the dogs is the best thing we can do to help her.

I still smell the smells. I hear their cry’s. I feel their pain. I see it in their eyes. I see their fear. And yet the authorities won’t act even though they don’t have water in their metal crates. They do not have access to water EXCEPT when let out of the crates, how is permanent housing in a crate OK, how is this allowed, this is why Pet stores got shut down. This isn’t OK and yet they say that the dogs “look” ok so then what is the cause of death for the over 40 dogs that have died this year alone, where are their records, do you not do necropsies? this neglect and no help is insane. Anybody can just get paid thousands of dollars to bring a dog into their house, become a 501(c) beg for free food give the dog the minimum to keep it sort of alive as long as it survives, but then it gets ripped up alive from other dogs in fights (I thought dog fighting illegal but I guess it’s OK when it’s on your property and you’re a 501(c) OK I’m learning and then it’s thrown into the ground buried dead, next or medically neglect the dog, the dog dies and nothing happens. She was told to get medical care for the horse, but the sheriff never followed up then SPCA said the horse definitely needed medical attention and the next thing we know is the beautiful brown mare is dead, she says from old age, but I saw the medical neglect, and the sheriff never followed up on any kind of medical care so again negligence failure to act.

Wow OK, this is nuts, they’re suffering and thirsty, dehydrated and their little bodies collapse dead and then thrown on a pile to be burnt. And the new intake comes in and goes in the same crate, no sanitation the smell of death, the f***s post death just in the corner and onto the next dog. I seriously pray that karma is real. 🐾🐶🥹🙏🏻

I can’t process or understand the cruelty and the loss of compassion for these living beings in this county. It’s just beyond my comprehension.

Any supporter of Dog”death”Town who hasn’t actually been there might think twice and watch what they say and if you have been there and you’re doing nothing, well go help please.

Thank you from the DOGS and thank you in memory of now over 40 dogs who have died this year alone and oh by the way there anywhere from six month old young beautiful Pyrenees puppies to seven year-old. These are not old dogs and they didn’t need to die and the people who paid for her care did not expect this outcome. This isn’t right that it’s not OK.

Rockdale, TX: My point of view on the allegations at Dogtown Ranch.

When we hear the word "sanctuary," we think of safety and peace. But what happens when that trust is questioned? I need you to stay with me on this because the reports coming out of Rockdale, Texas, involving Dogtown Ranch have raised serious concerns within our community.

As an animal advocate, I believe transparency is not optional - it is a requirement for anyone caring for these vulnerable souls. While we wait for the legal process to sort through the current allegations, we must ask the hard questions about accountability and the standards of care expected in our own backyard.

Blue's tragedy in Virginia and the cases we are tracking across the country show us that we cannot look away. Please watch this reel for my full point of view, share your thoughts respectfully in the comments, and keep aware.

Spot was boarded at Dogtown Ranch 11/24/25 and died 3/30/26. His nails were so long it was painful to walk. Spot was never treated by a vet to trim his overly long nails or the huge septic abscess developed on his side after arrival.

Over 30+ dead dogs this yr and counting … from horrific conditions just outside Austin City Limits.

There are dozens of eye witness volunteers and donors who have witnessed horrific fights, neglect and abuse at this "rescue", turned it all in but Milam County sheriffs office won't do anything, they say all is “fine”. These dogs are suffering and need you to be their voice.

Please share with everyone you know and demand they close this place down.

On the morning of April 1, 2026, Milam County Sheriff’s Deputy Wes Male responded to an armed intruder call at the Dogtown Ranch and Sanctuary, a
