		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT The state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has fined A Buddy for Life, which handles animal control for Cecil County under a more than $2.25 million contract, for operating its rented animal shelter in Elkton without a required state license for a year. The state panel also imposed fines and license sanctions involving drug laws against Mindy Carletti, a Perryville veterinarian who provides services and has financial ties to the Buddy group. Meanwhile, a dog, “Brittany”&#8211; that mauled a woman providing the Buddies-owned dog with a temporary foster home and that killed her pet Chihuahua with such violence that its eyeball flew out of its socket&#8211; was recently offered for adoption again by the group in online postings without mentioning the pet’s death or the violent attack on the woman. And in its latest financial reports to the county, the Buddies have found yet another fiscal gimmick to try to justify the $60,000 a month the county gives the group: claiming IRS car usage reimbursement rates for use of a personal vehicle for business purposes. But the county owns the two trucks it bought for the Buddies, who only pay $1 a year each to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report A state veterinary regulatory board will investigate the animal shelter operated by A Buddy for Life, under an animal control contract with Cecil County, amidst questions about lack of proper state licensing and inspection. And an Elkton family is mourning the loss of a pet Chihuahua they say was mauled to death—and its owner bitten severely&#8211; by a dog placed in their home for “foster” care by the Buddies. The Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners oversees licensing and inspection of veterinary hospitals and animal control facilities, as well as individual veterinarians. But the vet board did not receive an application for, and did not issue, a required animal control facility license to the Buddies for its shelter operation on Hutton Road, according to Laura Downes, the Board’s executive director. Nor does the Buddy’s shelter have a veterinary hospital license that is required for any facility at which vaccines and prescription medications are stored and administered to animals, Downes added. “We will certainly look into it,” Downes said in an interview Monday with Cecil Times. She said that if any medical care is being rendered at the site “that facility needs to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County government received two bids on its “request for proposals” to provide animal control services: from the Cecil County SPCA (which terminated its current contract a few weeks ago due to adoption of a new animal ordinance) and a small Delaware “rescue” group with no shelter facilities that is aligned with Mindy Carlettti, the chief author of the controversial new ordinance. Cecil Times was present in the county purchasing office on Friday 9/14/12 at the 1:30 p.m. deadline for submissions, when the two bidders were announced. However, due to the nature of an RFP that requires detailed review of the applicants’ credentials and proposed costs for services, the amount of each bid was not disclosed. Meanwhile, County Commissioners received a proposed revision of the animal control ordinance at last week’s Tuesday worksession to delete regulations for and references to cats. The “no cats” proposal was put forward even though a majority of the Commissioners had only requested language to remove horses from certain sections of the ordinance, such as deposits of animal waste, after horse groups requested such revisions. (Exempting cats from the ordinance adopted by the county commissioners has been a top priority for Carletti, a Perryville veterinarian [&#8230;]]]></description>
