What inspectors wrote
March 29, 2022 — Routine inspection, Pennsylvania 17769
19 dogs recorded (10 adults · 9 puppies).
No up-to-date rabies certificates
The kennel operator was unable to provide proof of an up-to-date rabies vaccination, as required for a dog named SAMANTHA. There were two (2) adult dogs recently entered in the kennel without rabies certificates. The kennel owner did not produce the up-to-date rabies vaccination certificates within the requested 48 hours as required.
May 10, 2023 — Routine inspection, Pennsylvania 17769
45 dogs recorded (15 adults · 30 puppies).
Barn too dark to inspect
Wardens had difficulty observing dogs housed in the barn, even with flashlight assistance.
Bird droppings and nests on pens
Wardens observed dogs housed in the barn with livestock where bird droppings and nesting is a problem. Advised provide netting or similar material to eliminate the bird droppings on the dog pens. The buildings and grounds of kennels shall be maintained, kept clean and in good repair to protect the animal from injury and to facilitate practices required by this chapter. Kennels shall have an effective program that controls ingress by insects, ectoparasites and avian and mammalian pests. Evidence of insects, ectoparasites and avian and mammalian pests or conditions that would allow or encourage infestation in a kennel are indicative of an ineffective program and unsanitary environmental sanitation in the kennel.
Incomplete breeding adult records
Wardens were unable to view complete records for the breeding adults for 2022 and 2023.
The official USDA identification (tag, tattoo, or microchip) number was not recorded for puppies and adult dogs on APHIS forms 7005 and 7006. Dogs and puppies are currently being identified by name on the APHIS forms. Without an official USDA identification number, it is difficult to keep track of litters, dogs and puppies on premises, and animals sold. An official USDA identification number needs to be recorded for puppies and dogs on APHIS forms 7005 and 7006 to help keep track of animals. Correct by June 22, 2023.
June 21, 2023 — Routine inspection, Pennsylvania 17769
