An unlicensed dog groomer accused of cutting off a dog's ear and gluing it back on will not face criminal charges.

The groomer at J'Rae's Professional Pet Grooming in Gig Harbor was cited last week with operating without a business license. Her case will be presented before a Pierce County District Court judge, said Pierce County sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer.

Anni Sherffius said her 2-year-old Shih Tzu, Jasmine, acted strangely after her December grooming session. Sherffius said the dog's ear came off when she soaked it with water. A veterinarian suspected the groomer had cut off Jasmine's ear and then glued it back on, Sherffius said.

Troyer said the groomer denied cutting the dog's ear and couldn't be charged because there was not enough evidence. The groomer has left the dog-grooming business, he said.
