2007/09/07 | Gladys I.

Its source was from the urine on the carpets that had not been cleaned from the dogs that had not been let out of their cages"); apparently, the previous trainer, Stephen Williams, also had an issue with cleanliness & caring for the dogs (cases are pending); the investigator gave track management several opportunities to deal with the kennel employees and have them clean up the kennel area; however, as on 7/27/07, the kennel was still, "far below acceptable standards", acc...More... |
