“We are devastated by the senseless loss of our beloved, Border Collie, Stark.  We hope that justice will be served.  He was our baby and my family is absolutely devastated by his senseless killing.  He was truly a light in our life and we miss him every second.  He did not deserve this.  We hope justice will be served.  #JusticeforStark”

Animal Cruelty – Warrants Served

On Aug. 17, 2016, Manassas City Police met with a resident on the 10200 block of Foxborough Ct for a report of animal cruelty. The reporting party told officers that they scheduled a routine checkup for their two-year-old dog with a mobile veterinary service named “NOVA Mobile Vet”. According to the victims, a veterinary technician employed by NOVA Mobile Vet entered the residence to retrieve the dog and have him treated in the company’s van parked outside. In the process of moving the dog outside, the accused allegedly handled the dog with excessive force. The dog subsequently died as a result. Through further investigation, Manassas City Animal Control Officers and Detectives identified the veterinary technician as Kimberly A. SKINNER and charged her on Sept. 20 with Cruelty to Animals.
