HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — Henry County code enforcement, along with the Department of Agriculture, is putting a stop to a business that claims to provide service dogs.
Channel 2's Wendy Corona first reported about Guardian of the Night K-9 on Monday.
Code enforcement tells Corona the company will be charged for having no business license and more charges.
They posted the order and even took one of the dogs from the property. The dog is now at the Henry County Animal shelter.
It was a multi-agency show of force from the state and local level at the property at the end of Seabolt Road in Henry County.
“We don't have any records for any kind of kennel permit or conditional use or anything to business license been issued for the property,” Arthur Weems, with Henry County code enforcement, said.
On Monday, Corona reported on two families; one said Guardian of the Night K-9 did not provide them with a certified trained service dog and did not provide a replacement, the other has yet to receive a refund for the abrupt cancelation of a contract to deliver a service dog to an autistic 7-year-old child in Wisconsin. %

Henry County Animal Control did take one dog to its shelter.
“We're impounding the dog for its safety and to properly nourish it,” Vince Farah, with animal control, said.
Code enforcement officers walked the property and noticed more violations.
”The trash accumulation, septic issues, stagnant water, you know, there's a lot of violations,” Coleen McBrayer, with code enforcement, said.
The Department of Agriculture posted a stop movement order on the property. County code enforcement, however, must issue its citations in person.
"Once we issue the citation, they should cease operations until all conditions are met," Weems said.
