After talking to the subject of the lawsuit, Lisa Oldendorf, KRCG has recieved her side of the story. Oldendorf says that the main issue was with getting her license renewed. She also says that she is getting the license renewed, so she can close her kennel down, which she says is related to personal issues, not to how she ran the facility.
As far the sanitation and identification issues were concerned, Oldendorf says they were minor issues which were all addressed by her promptly.
She says the Attorney General's office is working with her on the matter, and she expects the lawsuit to be dropped on Monday, May 14th.
