FEEL FREE TO CROSS POST.
IT’S ABOUT TIME SHANNON LACEWELL AND PAWS ’N CLAWS MADE THE NEWS.

WINGO KY IS ON THE KY/TN BORDER. TN SHELTERS SHOULD BE AWARE AS WELL.
There has been suspicion in regard to Shannon Lacewell of Paws ‘n Claws for a long while. I have a whole folder full of “stories” that I’ve been sent. I’ve not said anything up until now because I’ve had no proof. But if anyone believes these dogs were fed and watered at 1:15 p.m. and by 2:40 p.m. and EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM knocked over their bowls, then she’s the rescuer for you.
Did the police look to see if the ground was wet? Was there food on the kennel floors? But it looks like her DAUGHTER backed up her story, so no charges are being filed.
Wow…you have to be an idiot to believe that in the space of an hour to 85 minutes, two dogs died and everyone ate/drank or knocked over their bowls. How dumb are these cops???? So what else is new in the great state of KY?
You may remember that Ms. Lacewell had nothing but praise for the Clean Slate hoarder with dead dogs in the creek and others eating carcasses of dogs that didn’t make it. I think the court’s disagreed with lovely Ms. Lacewell’s assessment of Clean Slate as I recall. Birds of a feather do what????
Dogs found dead at shelter |

| Union City police responded to the animal shelter on Sunday and found two dead dogs. Someone called the police department around 2:40 p.m. Sunday to report a dog outside the fence at 311 North Fifth St. possibly suffering from a seizure. According to the report, when the police arrived, a black puppy crawled out of a hole in the fence and walked up to the patrol unit. No dog was found to be in distress outside the fence but, upon further inspection of the grounds, “it was evident that there was a dead dog inside one of the pens,” the report states. Officers retrieved the key for the shelter from the police department office and contacted Police Chief Joe Garner, who responded to the scene. Once inside, the officers found several dog pens without any water and none had any food. The report stated that the National Weather Service reported the temperature to be around 94 degrees with a heat index of around 104. A heat advisory had also been issued for the area. Officers reported dispatch attempted to contact shelter manager Sarah Dodd of Hickman , Ky. , and got no answer. Around 2:57 p.m., dispatch was able to reach Ms. Dodd’s mother, Shannon Lacewell (who runs Paws, Claws and More in Wingo, Ky.), who said she would have a volunteer meet officers at the shelter. Samantha Watson did arrive a short time later. And interim city manager Kathy Dillon was contacted by Garner and she also came to the shelter. Ms. Dodd did arrive at the shelter while officers were there and confirmed the statements made by Ms. Lacewell about the water bowls and the dead animals. Ms. Dodd and Ms. Lacewell then gave all the animals water and removed the dead animals from the pens. Ms. Dodd told police they almost always have volunteers working in shifts to try to make sure the dogs are checked about every two hours. No charges are pending at this time, according to the report. Published in The Messenger 6.21.10 According to the report, after officers were able to get inside the trailer at the shelter, they found another puppy deceased inside a cage and more caged dogs did not have any food or water. Ms. Lacewell arrived at the shelter and told police volunteer Tish Rutherford had been there at 1:15 p.m. and had fed and watered all animals. She said the dogs turn over their food and water bowls constantly and that is why none of them had any water. She also said the dead dog outside was from a litter that was infected with parvovirus and that the puppy inside the trailer had been sick for a while and was being treated with antibiotics. She said many of the young dogs that come to the shelter are infected with parvovirus and die while there.

An emergency triage unit was set up in Garrard County at Central Ky Regional Humane Society as dogs were confiscated from deplorable conditions and brought in for evaluation and care. Dead dogs were found in freezers on the property. A pregnant sharpei died, who was Heartworm positive, and had ruptured corneas from possible heartworm complications or perhaps from being covered with the lime the owner used to try to clean up the property before officials arrived on the scene or simply because she was so abused.
Two 12 week old pups, infested with parasites, which a 50 cent dosage of wormer would have prevented, died in the arms of rescuers the first day. URKY does not have the funds available to provide all of these dogs with the care they will require.

DNA MASSACHUSETTS: Sarena and Scott Griswold, Rockland MA
August 3rd, 2010 | Author: admin2
Serena and Scott Griswold of Rockland, MA 02370= KILLED a bloodhound, of their own volition and assistance of their veterinarian[ who did not KNOW Rufus] Both adults ignored the adoption contract completely. The contract explicitly stated that Rufus was micro-chipped and to be returned, no questions asked, to the original rescue. A Massachussetts correspondent had arranged to pick the dog up immediately, after learning that the couple allegedly ”did not want” the dog and were “keeping him in a back bedroom.”
After many ignored phone calls and emails, it was discovered that theytook dog to vet to euthanize him. No questions asked- the vet did just that. Then the vet would not release body back to adopting organization. The entire story did not check out and the couple were not communicative in the least bit. They observed no portion of the contract and successfully broke the hearts of all rescuers involved.
This senseless murder should never have happened. Do not let these people adopt any animal, under any circumstances. Contact us on the site if you’d like more information.
Rest in peace dear Rufus….it wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t the rescuers fault either- we are forced to entrust the same species that originally displaces these beautiful animals….
