Summary
Wednesday reopened City Dogs Boarding & Playcare for boarding and playcare in Roanoke after an unexpected weekend shutdown that sent owners to retrieve their dogs.
Police still have not said what triggered the investigation, and staff at the facility declined to comment when asked for details.
Sunday brought a heavy law-enforcement presence — one owner reported four animal control vehicles, three or four police cars and a van at the site.
An 11 p.m. Facebook statement from City Dogs said it had not been ordered to close, apologized for the disruption and said it paused daycare and new boarding drop-offs to regroup.
The business, operating for 13 years, had said it aimed to resume normal services by Wednesday even as the police case remained active.
