LINCOLN, R.I. (AP) - An animal rescue organization in Lincoln has been fined more than $63,000 and ordered to surrender its operating license.
The Call of Woonsocket (https://bit.ly/2hMKxEB ) reports that a notice of violation dated Dec. 5 has been sent to Amna Memon and her husband, James Baribeau, who run Broken Tail Foster and Rescue and the retail store Oh My Dog.
The notice charges them with violating regulations involving license application, animal sickness disclosure, and taking sick animals to a veterinarian, among other offenses.
Memon disputes some of the allegations and says they’re trying to reach a resolution with the state Department of Environmental Management.
Memon and Baribeau can either appeal or try to negotiate a settlement.
The rescue is trying to raise money to pay down its debt.
