Overview
- Solano County Animal Control and the Solano County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at 838 Carolina Street and removed 44 dogs as part of an active animal cruelty investigation.
- Deputies found animal waste and dozens of dogs living in cramped conditions at the property that investigators described as a “hoarder house.”
- The home is connected to Susan Anthony, who has a prior animal cruelty conviction and court limits on dog ownership while she says others help care for the animals and her elderly mother lives there.
- The dogs were taken to several area shelters where veterinarians are evaluating their health and officials warn the large intake is straining local shelter capacity.
- The case follows a 2024 seizure and ongoing legal actions and highlights how local dog limits, repeated neighbor complaints, and limited enforcement resources complicate long-term solutions for hoarding and breeder oversight.
