Episode Details

Washington County’s humane officers uncovered horrific conditions at South Paw Kennels, where matted animals, feces, and a nauseating ammonia stench revealed a failing operation. Owner Kayla Rigole admitted to broken pipes, no water or power, and even admitted a Yorkie froze to death in January. She surrendered ten of fifteen dogs, including the deceased pup, but conditions barely improved — and the remaining dogs tested positive for deadly whipworm. Rigole blamed a cascade of infrastructure failures and her own health issues, including pending back surgery, for the mess — even claiming she still hauled water daily. Nine dogs and a turkey remain on the property as authorities watch her struggle to fix it all.
