Mulberry Woman Charged After 10 Great Danes Die in Filth
4 Aug
Summary
- Ten dead Great Danes found in a cluttered home with over a foot of feces.
- Neighbors reported a foul odor, leading to an investigation after a year.
- The owner cited financial hardship and a broken water line as contributing factors.
In Mulberry, Indiana, Robin White was charged with animal cruelty following the discovery of ten dead Great Danes within her home. Neighbors first alerted local law enforcement about a concerning odor in August 2025, reporting it again in March 2026. Deputies noted the homeowner's water service had been shut off on February 10, 2026, due to a broken water line, forcing her to carry water into the residence.
An investigation revealed a home in extreme disarray, with over a foot of dried dog feces and the pervasive smell of decomposing animals. Ten emaciated Great Danes were found dead in kennels, some showing signs of mice feeding on them. The owner, who stated she was moving between Texas and Indiana, admitted the dogs were sick and had not seen a veterinarian in approximately four years due to lack of funds.
White faces a class A misdemeanor charge for animal cruelty. She pleaded not guilty during an initial hearing on November 6, 2026, and a bench trial is scheduled for the same date. As of Monday afternoon, White was no longer listed as an inmate at the Clinton County Jail.
