We are incredibly proud of our Animal Services team for their professionalism and hard work on this animal cruelty case.
The videos included in this news story are graphic, and we encourage viewers to use discretion. Find the full story here: https://bit.ly/4hX3qk2.
However, they only begin to show the awful things our Animal Services team had to watch as they investigated this case and other abuses at this facility while they worked to secure a prosecution. Their commitment to seeking justice for animals is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you to WJLA for following up on this story and highlighting the significant lack of oversight and regulation surrounding dog grooming and boarding establishments. We want to remind pet parents to do their research and due diligence when choosing a groomer or boarding facility. Find helpful tips at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Boarding.

We really didn't want to do this ... but we are cancelling Paws in the Park. 😭
We tried to hold off and see if the forecast might change for the better, but it has not. The day is predicted to be very wet, with downpours, threat of thunderstorms, flooding and high wind gusts.
We were prepared for rain, but this is set to be more than just showers ... and safety is now a real concern.
The silver lining? We're trying to reschedule. Please stay tuned.
And stay dry tomorrow. We're so sorry ...
