PETITION: Shut Down Abusive Boarding Facility/Puppymill
https://www.change.org/p/florida-state-house-shut-down-abusive-boarding-facility-puppymill
Kellie Jo Strabley AKA Kj Strabley is the owner of Paws & Claws Country Club & Resort or also known as Paws and Claws for doggy daycare/boarding/
and grooming. She needs to be stopped from harming all these innocent animals!! Not just boarding dogs are injured there its grooming dogs to!
And there are pictures to prove it! KJ is also a puppy-mill!! She has 2-3 litters a month and she sells the dog as a certain breed but its actually a
different one. If these puppies do not sell by certain age she dumps them off in a field or poisons them!. If they are hurt she leaves them there
to rot and suffer with no medical attention! if you go to the link there is a news story on a dog named Molly that was boarding there while the
owners were out of town but Molly was mauled to death by 7 other dogs! But Kj lied about it and said Molly died in her sleep!! And Kj had
her cremated without the owners consent just to cover up her lies!! There are so many other stories and everyone is coming forward
cause they cant take hearing all the stories anymore! Kj threatens owners of the dogs she has hurt so they cant do anything so she keeps
getting away with it!! Enough is Enough!!
Can provide pictures, names, and info to help make this process happen!

These are the pictures of my maltese max who was attacked while being boarded at kjs paws and claws in july 2012, he barely survived. She did not take
him to my vet, which we had instructed her to do incase anything happened to him. She told Me he was fine. We picked him up limping. Wound up at
emergency vet. He was full of infection and vet said no way only one dog did that amount of damage to him. Kj said he was attacked by a female
schaunzer, who he tried to mate with. Vet said since his injuries were to his belly. He tried to give up. It took 5 surgeries for him to get better.
Let me add her insurance company did finally repay our $3,000 up front costs. I consulted an attorney
and was told as long as vet bills were paid,
nothing they could do. Didnt know I could have reported to police.

I just want to put the word out that my sister took her dog to Paws n Claws on Merritt island behind burger king on 520 this morning to get a bath and
shaved. Why she was there my sister got a phone call from the owner saying her 200 pound st. Bernard got out of a cage. They said she then got out
three glass doors including the front door and was running around outside... this dog is the sweetest dog ever and listens to anything you tell her to
do. She went missing around 12 this afternoon when my sister got the call. We as a family had to search Merritt island to find the dog. We finally found
her behind Edgewood around 430 pm. When we found her she would not come to us and she was bleeding from her paws... I just want to pass the
word please do not go to these people they are not good people and do not treat their animals that our in there care good.... I have added pictures of
Millie's (dog) paws my car seat covered in blood from her paws and the cage they said she got out of... please feel free to pass the word on…
BOGIE (RIP)
Our dog suffered heat stroke at boarding facility
February 22, 2017
MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - A dog boarding facility must now allow Brevard County Animal Services to inspect their premises once a month for one year under an agreement reached in court.
News 6 first reported about Paws and Claws Country Club Resort last year when a golden doodle named Molly was mauled to death while her owners were on vacation.
Now, News 6 has learned the facility was cited again for leaving another dog out in a play yard on a warm day in August, resulting in the dog suffering heat stroke.
According to court records, the 4-year-old Schnauzer named Bogie was left out in the hot weather for several hours.
Veterinary records show the dog had a body temperature of 107.6-degrees.
Bogie's owners, Stephen and Ruth Ann Vlasak, say the staff at the boarding facility claimed Bogie had a seizure, but their veterinarian determined it was heat stroke.
"When they brought him in he had three feet in the grave and one on a slippery slope," said Ruth Ann.
"He couldn't move. He wouldn't bark. He wouldn't look at you," said Stephen. "He was in real bad shape."
According to veterinary records, it took the doctor and his staff 45 minutes to reduce Bogie's body temperature to 100-degrees.
The Vlasaks say they spent more than $3,000 to save their dog's life.
Brevard County Animal Services cited Paws and Claws with cruel and inhumane treatment of an animal for leaving Bogie out in the heat.
"I trusted her so much," said Ruth Ann. "I told everybody about her."
News 6 went to Paws and Claws to ask owner Kelli Jo Strabley what happened that August day and to see if protocols had changed.
Staff members locked the front door of the boarding facility, and in a telephone call, they said Strabley was on vacation.
A man identifying himself as Strabley's husband called News 6 to say she had no comment.
Stephen Vlasak had a message for Strabley.
"She ought to close the front door and get out of the business. She has no business taking care of dogs," he said.
As part of her agreement settling her case with Brevard County, Strabley agreed to allow surprise inspections at her facility once-a-month for one year.
She was not ordered to pay the Vlasak's for their vet bills.
