Default Alert - Superpetz groomer charged with animal cruelty

Animal neglect and improper care
Charleston, SC (US)

Date: Oct 15, 2005
Disposition: Alleged
Alleged Abusers:
* Lisa Cauthen
* Cheron Gilcrest - Not Charged
Upcoming Court Dates:
* Nov 14, 2005

Classification: Neglect / Abandonment
Animal: dog (non pit-bull)
Suspect was in animal welfare field

Superpetz dog groomer, Cheron "Ronnie" Gilcrest, allegedly abandoned a
customer's two dogs on October 15, 2005. She reportedly left for the
day without calling the owner or leaving a message to come pick up the
dogs from the Sam Rittenburg location.

The customer, September Welborn, arrived home from working Hurricane
Katrina relief efforts with Slidell, LA Animal Control just the day
before. She took her two English Setters, Max and Star - themselves
recently rescued - to be groomed at Superpetz, a national pet
"superstore". At 5:00 she stopped by the store to see if the dogs were
finished, but they were not. She asked the groomer what time they
closed and was told, "We do not leave until we are finished." Welborn
had not heard anything by 7:00 pm, so she called the store, and the
person who answered the phone said, "Everyone left for the day". Not
only had the groomer allegedly caged the two animals for over 7 hours,
but she left for the day without bothering to call the owner.

When Welborn confronted the Store Manager, Lisa Cauthen, the next day,
Cauthen told her, "Is this about last night? They called me at home to
tell me your dogs were left... I heard the conditions were really bad
in the cage and that the dogs had to be re-bathed. How did it look when
you went back there? ...I have written up this employee several times
already". Cauthen's story changed when questioned by the police.

City of Charleston Animal Control Officer Marcus Grant issued a
criminal citation, case number 0522588, for Animal Neglect And Improper
Care against the store manager, Lisa Cauthen, on October 17, 2005. The
court date is set for November 14, 2005.
