A dog training and boarding business operating from the same building that housed Working Dogs of Nevada. The City of Las Vegas approved the license on appeal on September 10, 2026, about five months after the raid.

7331 W. Lake Mead Blvd., Suite 101, Las Vegas, NV 89128 (Lake Mead Pavilion, near Lake Mead Blvd. and Tenaya Way) — the same building where police served the April 1, 2026 search warrant.

Clark County lists Verona Group LLC (888 W. 6th St., Suite 500, Los Angeles, CA 90017) as owner, recorded under document 20140718:00644. Leasing is handled by Great American Capital (John Murillo).

The license lists Zachary Adam Dickmeyer through Daisy Enterprises LLC (license G74-02631). Dickmeyer was previously a manager at Working Dogs of Nevada and told local media he had "no idea what was happening within the walls."

Documented: the city license expressly prohibits Terry Davis from owning, managing, or participating in the business; Nevada records tie Susan and Terry Davis to a 2015 licensing citation. Alleged: advocates report the family has operated rescues and training facilities under different names in several states that closed after legal action.

Documented: the license says he may own the company and set policy "but he is not permitted to run its day-to-day operations"; a sole manager, Shelly Logan, must. Alleged: advocates report he has been seen inside and managing the business's public presence.

Dickmeyer may not run daily operations; Terry Davis may not participate in any way; no independent contractors for animal services; secondary cooling required for outdoor kennels when temperatures exceed 105°F.

According to the City of Las Vegas, the new application was filed 27 days after the raid. After an initial denial, it was approved on appeal September 10, 2026.

On April 1, 2026, LVMPD's Animal Cruelty Section served a search warrant, seized about 35 dogs, arrested two employees, and the business license was suspended.

Documented: police said surveillance video from a former employee showed practices they called "straight-up cruelty." Alleged (per arrest report): dogs lifted by leashes, swung, and shocked with e-collars, once for moving during a photo. These are police allegations, not court findings.

Police allege many dogs were rescued from California, trained at the facility, and sold for several hundred dollars after the alleged abuse. This is a police allegation reported by news media.

Advocates' observations: Dickmeyer claims he had "no idea" what happened at the facility he managed; the new Facebook page has blocked many advocates; he has declined interviews beyond a written statement; customers are not offered camera access; and he remains present despite license limits. These are opinions and observations of advocates, not official findings.

Yes. Employees John Johnstone and Tabitha Berube were arrested and charged with felony willful and malicious torture of an animal. Johnstone was in the country illegally and was deported back to Scotland. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson refused to prosecute Berube citing "insufficient evidence", even though there were videos.

This prompted John Waudby, founder of Nevada Animal Advocates and Reba's Law co-author to file a complaint with the Nevada Attorney General and Nevada State Bar against Steve Wolfson and the office the Clark County District Attorney.

In 2025, Wolfson begged and pleaded with lawmakers to "pass legislation that will allow my office to prosecute animal cruelty offenders." Reba's Law was handed to him on a silver platter, giving him what he asked for, yet his office has plead down or dismissed more than 95% of the animal cruelty cases presented to him.

Documented: no animal-cruelty convictions resulted; the Clark County DA declined to proceed against Berube, and Johnstone was deported. Opinion: the community was shocked that Berube was not prosecuted given NRS 574.100.

Nevada law prohibits torturing or unjustifiably maiming animals and also causing, procuring, or allowing such cruelty, and instigating, engaging in, or furthering it. See the NRS 574.100 FAQ above.

That's your decision. Our opinion: given the prior shutdown and the same people involved, be cautious. If you visit, document everything and report concerns to LVMPD Animal Protective Services or 311.
