“We are confident that the surveillance footage will affirm that our groomer was performing appropriately at all situations with Curry,” in accordance to Animal Residence.

About the past numerous months, Animal Residence Boarding and Grooming have been at the forefront of criticism involving the death of a pet dog in their care — a 7-calendar year-old Border Collie blend named Curry, owned by Emilee and Kevin Hanks.

The groomer, who was arrested for a felony animal cruelty demand, only to have them dismissed on Thursday, was criticized by many in the public. Cherry Derr, a very long-time staff of Animal Residence, experienced her general public data shared across many social media sites and received threats.

The time period “innocent until eventually tested guilty” did not use to all those who experienced by now built their minds up about the circumstance. 

Enter Thursday early morning. 

Onslow County District Legal professional Ernie Lee’s announcement was too much to handle, to say the least, dropping the demand and is not prosecuting Derr. According to Lee, video evidence from the day and examinations from the state’s veterinary lab concluded no animal cruelty steps were current. 

Derr was arrested right after Onslow County Animal Service’s original investigation said video evidence from Animal Dwelling and the testimony from Animed Veterinary Healthcare facility of Bell Fork was adequate to acquire Derr in advance of a magistrate. 

Animed is thought to have also participated in everyday living-conserving actions together with Animal House the day Curry died.
