Noelle’s Dogs Four Hope, a Colorado Springs-based service dog provider, surrendered its license after customers accused the business of being a scam, sparking a Colorado Department of Agriculture investigation.
Noelle’s and its owner Tina Lynn Rivero entered into a stipulated agreement with the agriculture department’s Pet Animal Care Facilities Act program that was finalized Tuesday.
Some of the clients who bought Noelle’s dogs said the animals were not trained properly. One woman recounted a story of a dog urinating when a nurse arrived and growling at doctors.
