Donald, Did you file te charity complaint with the DA or the state Atty General? Generally the AGs have oversight of charitable organizations and can be an extra resource if the complaint was filed with the local District Attorney. Also I would check to see if Ohio has state police ( not highway patrol - they tend to be limited in jurisdiction) or a sheriff's department system. Often there are overlapping layers of law enforcement and if one bureau is lacking in will to prosecute sometimes another branch will step in - especially if there is a bit of competition between services or bosses. Again the state Atty General should have the ability to enforce the law if the locals refuse to. As to it being a civil matter ( both contract and tort) say yes it is but it also a crime and quote them chapter and verse of the law.
Consider contacting one of the tv stations that have investigatory reporters or go for a big city newspaper - Cleveland's Plain Dealer has a good rep I think - http://www.usnpl.com/ohnews.php . Angle fraudulent charity scams police who refuse to prosecute. Can't think a good newsman wouldn't like that BUT the sad reality is that there are few true newsman left these days.
Check to see if any Ohio universities have journalism schools - you might be able to get a professor and his students interested.
Good luck.
PS sent you a PM

BBBB, Tch tch did I touch a nerve? I certainly hope so for the sake of your poor dogs.
Great flaming balls of fire, man what is it you don't get or is it as Donald said you made your $ off the dogs so now good riddance. Based on the evidence posted here this person a. lied to the police and b. commited fraud and stole from them. Given the balls it takes to do that why would you possibly think she would not lie to you, Donald,CR or any other person in the world. For all you know she has sold your dogs to a testing lab for experimentation (yes they still exist). Will they be fed and watered - yes and to some people that means they are being taken care of. Not saying she did this, just saying she easily could have SINCE YOU HAVE NO REAL PROOF WHERE YOUR DOGS ARE OR WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM!
BTW think before you go casting aspersions on folks knowledge. As a matter of fact I do have quite a bit of knowledge on the law and the history of legal systems but since you do not know me you have no way to know that. If you had bothered to read the links that I provided you would realize how nonsensical your answer is and sounds.
So once more since you obviously did not get it the first time. We have a bifurcated judicial system. A single act can have consequences in both. It can be a crime - murder, robbery, theft where the perp when convicted pays in time - his/her body in prison or it can be a civil matter - contract and/or tort where the court can order a number of remedies including specific enforcement, restitution and or monetary damages. Think about OJ - unfortunately couldn't get him on the criminal side tho I have no doubt he was guilty but they did get a civil judgement against him. See - a single act CAN be both a crime and a civil matter AND one can be held liable in both. A tort by the way is not a torte (cake) but rather a wrong or injury to another person.
Theft by deception has an old legal history being found in old English common law which is the basis for the majority of the laws in our states excepting CA, Louisiana and some southwestern states which were influenced by Spanish and French legal systems. You probably won't bother to read these links either but here are some links that explain some of the concepts here in a fairly simplistic manner. The first one also reiterates for you from someone else the concept of dual responsibility under criminal laws and civil jurisdiction.

These should get you started but if you want more just google "english common law theft by deception". Interestingly #6 on the google list was this -

Also if you are successful in getting her charged and/or you file suit against her - send out a press release. Have your atty check it but if you stick to the proveable facts you should be ok. There are web sites who for a small fee will send a PR to every media outlet in Ohio and if you are lucky and it's a slow news day you just might peak someone's interest. I would also send it to all law enforcement agencies, VFW and American Legion posts, any military installations esp any that may deal with wounded veterans and VA hospitals. She is linked to a FB page Police Blotter. Post it there. Go to google and enter police dog vendors Ohio and send one to each of her competitors. Let me tell you they will keep it in their back pocket for the next time they are competing for a contract with her. Send a copy to ADI Assistance Dogs International which is an industry organization so they have that info if she tries to apply to be a member.
I presume this is your girl. http://www.wtov9.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/new-k9-arrives-barnesville-5282.shtml Have you contacted the merchants who gave the money to buy the dog? I bet you they would put pressure on the police to charge her. Send the PR to her local BBB. Find out if there are any bulletin boards or forums the veterans with dogs hang out in. Post it there and reference back to this thread.
Keep in mind the old dragnet saying - just the facts, maam - just the facts.
