When I measured the temperature at 6:31 PM, I observed 21 puppies in four enclosures to be sprawled out and scattered throughout all 4 enclosures. They were not huddled up close to each other the way a litter of puppies would normally be observed. This behavior indicates the puppies were too hot and uncomfortable. The licensee must ensure the kennel temperature does not rise above 85 degrees Fahrenheit when dogs are present. If there is any indication the temperature could stay above 85 degrees Fahrenheit for an extended period of time, the licensee should take steps to lower the temperature. Correct starting on 4/13/23.
