"No specific evidence was found of physical harm to animals at the shelter," Farren said.

Though, he said the grand jury did find technical violations of needles being used more than once on animals, and no scale present at the city facility at the time of the investigation."

The City of Amarillo still plans to rehabilitate practices of the department.  Euthanasia resumed back in May of 2014 at the facility, now under the watch of a licensed veterinarian.
