		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Cecil County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1), who is a licensed veterinarian, made a surprise visit to the Buddy for Life animal shelter in Elkton late last week and found unremoved feces, odors and many dogs with serious “mange” and other skin conditions. “It was a mess,” he said of the facility, which county taxpayers are supporting with payments of $60,000 per month for animal control services. In addition, the chair of an independent oversight panel has questioned what she called overstaffing at the Buddy operation at taxpayer expense. And the County Attorney&#8211; while suggesting minimal county concerns with recent state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners’ sanctions against both the Buddies and its veterinarian, Mindy Carletti&#8211; said he and the County Executive would meet later this week with the Buddies to discuss the sanctions and other “contractual/performance issues.” Top county officials were unaware of the state vet board sanctions until personally informed of them by Cecil Times. After publication of our exclusive Cecil Times Special report on 7/28/14 [SEE Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2014/07/state-vet-board-fines-buddies-for-no-license-at-animal-shelter-carletti-sanctioned-for-violations-on-controlled-dangerous-substances/ ] county officials got copies of the reports that had been obtained by Cecil Times under a state Public Information Act filing.

		<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[The state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners is slated to consider this week possible action against A Buddy for Life, which operates animal control under contract with the Cecil County government, for failing to obtain a required state license for nearly a year, state officials said. In addition, the Buddy group has continued to show a surplus of money in its county-paid operations and its most recent reports to the county government fail to document a vicious, fatal attack on a dog and biting of a woman who served as a foster parent for a Buddy-owned dog. The Buddy group, which receives $60,000 a month in taxpayer-supplied funds from the county, finally obtained a veterinary hospital license on 12/26/13. And the Buddies’ latest financial report shows they charged the county for the $215 cost of obtaining the license, despite the fact that the county’s ‘request for proposal’ and contract with the group required them to have all necessary licenses before bidding on or receiving the contract. Laura Downes, executive director of the state vet board, told Cecil Times that the full board will meet this week and is expected to consider, in a closed session, possible action against the Buddy [&#8230;]]]></description>
