Amid nearly three hours of contentious conversation Monday, Snowmass Village Town Council determined that Krabloonik Dog Sledding is in default on its lease and must provide plans and documentation for its adoption program, retirement program, spay and neuter program and off-tether program by May 2 to cure the default.
Danny Phillips, who co-owns Krabloonik Dog Sledding with Gina Phillips, maintains he was not aware that a Best Practices Plan would become a part of their lease with the town when Krabloonik’s owners met with town officials and created the plan by mutual agreement in 2015.
Krabloonik Dog Sledding in Snowmass Village has been the subject of state and local investigations as well as ongoing town discussions in response to concerns and formal complaints submitted to the town of Snowmass Village, the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado Pet Animal Care Facilities Program (PACFA).
There s no state oversight of Utah s shelters, rescues or overnight training programs. Advocates say animal control agencies are often unable to fully investigate serious problems.
