The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has concluded its investigation of PetSmart at Potomac Yard and found that while the facility has problems, there is insufficient evidence to charge the pet care facility or its staff with any crime.

The AWLA reported that a necropsy of Clark, one of the dogs that died after a stay at the Potomac Yard PetSmart boarding facility, likely contracted his illness before his stay at PetSmart.

In an investigation update issued on Friday evening, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) said a third dog owner has come forward and said their pet died shortly after a stay at the Potomac Yard PetSmart boarding facility.

The investigation started with an investigation into a three-year-old Aussiedoodle — with no history of health problems and a clean check-up just weeks earlier — who was dropped off dead at a veterinarian’s office after being boarded at PetSmart’s PetsHotel.
