Moore was the PAWS community development coordinator until her termination in September 2019. Thompson left the agency in February 2020 and Tracey Williams was hired as the new executive director four months later.
Williams has launched an ambitious program to change the way Okaloosa County s animal control agency and shelter is run. The University of Florida Maddie s Shelter Medicine Program is very excited and hopeful that the time is right for positive change within PAWS, a report filed in January by Shelter Medicine Program Manager Cameron Moore (no relation) said. Industry standards have evolved but practices at PAWS have not.
The lawsuit states Thompson misused and misapplied PAWS funds and made false statements in order to obtain or retain grant money. Manda Moore claims Thompson falsified the amounts of grant funds being spent for spaying and neutering.
