*Update*

Scooby’s case was rescheduled again to the 29th of this month. Attorneys for both sides will likely be asking for trial dates for both defendants. The biggest my sis whether they will be bench trials or jury trials. We will know more after Wednesday.

Hey everyone, we had another court hearing today. Unfortunately, the case has been rescheduled again because attorneys for both defendants asked for extensions. Next dates are 11/15 & 11/29. Hopefully we will have a plea, but there is a chance we could go to trial. Time will tell. KOLR news came and ran a follow up story. Watch the video and read the story for additional details.

Hello all,

I wanted to update everyone with what is happening with Scooby’s case and other projects that are in the works. Sorry for the delay, I want to update you all more, but most days it is still so hard to get on here and see the pictures and stories of Scooby. It is getting easier; I do have days where I catch myself thinking about him. It’s the little things, like his scratching at the door to need to go out for a potty break, or walking in Roberts Park and wanting to stop and say hi to every single person that happens to be in the park. Even being at the shop daily is a reminder for both Ryan and me. It’s funny that the things he did that irritated me then, I would give anything to have back! We will never get over it, we will move forward and cherish our memories.

Well, that being said, there was another court date today. I was told that the defendants could possibly enter a plea. We were informed that did not happen. There is an additional court date on October 18th that will either have a plea entered or they will decide to go to trial.

As I have shared before, After this event we were shocked with how little guidelines and regulations there were for groomers in Missouri and all over the country. In my research I had reached out to PETA. They responded with suggestions within the same day and turned me onto Rosemary Marchetto of New Jersey. She tragically lost her beloved shih-tzu Bijou at a well-known pet store groomer in New Jersey. Rosemary has since been fighting to get more regulations for groomers in New Jersey and potentially across the US. I (Nicole) will be working with her to write letters to our Missouri representatives to get some regulations for Missouri and more regulations for service animals as a whole.

Rosemary and I encourage you to go to https://bijouslaw.com/ and sign the petition to get these regulations pushed through. This process is long and arduous, but we are up to the fight.

Another update that I hope will come to fruition is a mobile grooming van/truck. This as well as a dog park/animal sanctuary are still in the works. Again, long processes with a lot of steps, any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I love animals and my heart has had such a void, having these projects has helped me immensely.

Ryan and I truly appreciate everyone’s support over the last several months.

Dogs are dying at the groomers at an alarming rate. It's time to support Bijou's Law, an Act calling for the licensing of all pet groomers. Sign our petition today.

**Tragic Incident at Local Groomer Leads to Animal Abuse Charges**

July 23, 2023** - In a heart-wrenching event that shook our close-knit community, a beloved canine companion named Scooby-Doo Wood lost his life at a local groomer on June 13th, 2023. The incident left residents devastated and demanding justice for the innocent animal.

Last week, on July 17th, authorities revealed that they would be pressing charges against two individuals involved in the unfortunate incident. The charges include animal abuse, a serious offense that carries significant penalties.

Details surrounding the incident have been withheld until now, out of respect for the family and friends grieving the loss of Scooby-Doo Wood. According to the preliminary investigation, it appears that the beloved pet suffered injuries while in the care of the groomers, leading to his untimely death.

The community has rallied together, organizing candlelight vigils and memorials to honor Scooby-Doo Wood's memory. Local residents expressed their sadness and anger at the loss of a cherished companion and demanded justice for the innocent animal.

The prosecutor's decision to charge the two ladies involved in the incident has been met with relief and hope for a fair resolution. An arraignment is scheduled for July 31st, 2023, where the accused will face the legal process and answer to the charges brought against them.

Throughout this challenging time, it is essential for the community to come together in support of one another. Neighbors and friends have shown tremendous solidarity, offering comfort to Scooby-Doo Wood's family and condemning any form of animal cruelty.

As we await the upcoming arraignment, let us remember Scooby-Doo Wood as a symbol of love and loyalty. Together, we can work towards a community that cherishes and protects all its members, both human and animal, ensuring that tragedies like this are never repeated.

In times of grief, it is the strength of unity and compassion that defines us as a community. We stand united in seeking justice for Scooby-Doo Wood and in striving for a safer and more caring environment for all creatures who share our lives.

*Note: The details of the incident are still under investigation, and the outcome of the legal proceedings will be reported in a future edition.*

Update!!!

Justice Served - Two Charged with Animal Abuse in Scooby-Doo's Tragic Death**

July 31, 2023** - In a recent development that brought some closure to the heartbroken community, the two individuals involved in the tragic death of beloved pet Scooby-Doo Wood have been charged with animal abuse.

The devastating incident, which occurred on June 13th, 2023, at a local groomer's facility, left residents in mourning and seeking answers. The loss of Scooby-Doo Wood, a cherished companion to his family, had a profound impact on everyone who knew him.

After a thorough investigation by local authorities, evidence supporting allegations of animal abuse emerged, leading to the prosecutor's decision to press charges against the two individuals responsible for the care of Scooby-Doo Wood that day.

The charges of animal abuse carry significant consequences, reflecting the seriousness of the offense and the community's demand for justice. While we respect the legal process, the news of the charges brings a measure of hope for those seeking accountability for the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day.

The arraignment for the accused is scheduled for July 31st, 2023, during which they will have the opportunity to respond to the charges brought against them and begin the legal proceedings.

Throughout this ordeal, the community has displayed remarkable resilience and unity, supporting the grieving family of Scooby-Doo Wood and standing together against any form of cruelty towards animals. The outpouring of love and compassion for the loss of the beloved pet has been a testament to the tight-knit nature of our town.

As we move forward, let us remember Scooby-Doo Wood as a symbol of the joy and love that our animal companions bring into our lives. His untimely death has reminded us of the importance of treating all living beings with care, respect, and kindness.

We will continue to follow this case closely and provide updates on the legal proceedings in the coming weeks. As a community, we remain committed to seeking justice for Scooby-Doo Wood and advocating for the welfare and protection of animals in our care.

*Note: The trial is still pending, and the individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty.*

Hello all,
this is Nicole (Scoobys mom). On behalf of my husband Ryan and myself, we would like to say thank you to everyone for your kindness and support during this time. Days are getting easier, but void in our hearts will never go away. We miss Scooby Doo everyday!

We still do not have any updates from the prosecutor regarding Scooby’s case.

This has been very rough for us but also an eye opening experience into the world of grooming.

That being said, I reached out to PETA for suggestions on anything else we could do. They actually responded the same day! 4 of the 5 suggestions they had, we had already done, so that was great to know we took the right steps.

The final suggestion/idea mentioned was to reach out to state legislators and propose a new bill/law requiring groomers to be certified and/or licensed by the state to be a groomer.

I feel like this is the “everything happens for a reason” for me. I will not only be working on a letter to state legislators, I plan to go further up and go to congress to get a law implemented for the entire U.S.! There are little to no laws or regulations for groomers across the U.S (except for NJ who passed a law in 2019 for groomers to be licensed).

I am researching this process, and will possibly need help from my fellow animal lovers in the near future.

We will keep you posted on any news moving forward!

Thank you and good night!

Nicole Wood

Enjoy this video of Scooby’s first day of training! 🥺

Logging on to Facebook tonight and this came up as a memory.

This was when we lived in the country. Scooby loved talking walks with me (Nicole his mom) and his sister Pippa! In the morning he would walk to my side of the bed, stare at me and grumble until I got up. Then he would paw the bed and grumble/talk to me if I was taking too long. Scooby had so much personality.

I love all these memories we have of Scooby, but still break down every time I think of him. 🥺

The victim advocate from the prosecutor's office understands the impact this has had on our community, and they want to ensure that our voices are heard.

💰 Restitution Consideration 💰

The victim advocate also mentioned the possibility of seeking restitution in Scooby's case. Restitution would involve the groomer compensating for the loss and damages caused.

🚫 Potential License Revocation 🚫

In addition to the legal proceedings, we have received word from the animal control officer and the City of Mountain Grove.
