Mooresville pet facility fined nearly $2K after dog escape, safety violations

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A Mooresville pet boarding and grooming facility, where an employee was charged with animal cruelty, now owes the state nearly $2,000 in fines.

Inspectors with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture visited Classy Critters Pet Resort and Spa earlier this month.

The state then fined the owner of the establishment $1,900 after a dog escaped and caused a car crash. Inspectors also issued fines for inadequate enclosures, cleaning issues, and a lack of documentation.

Last month, deputies charged Kirsten Taylor with four counts of animal cruelty. Taylor was accused of abusing dogs on her table after incidents were caught on video.
