What inspectors wrote

April 2, 2019 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0561

77 dogs recorded (39 adults · 38 puppies).

  • Yorkie loose oral piece, bloody mouth

    A female Yorkie (microchip # 990000001614655) had a considerable amount of tartar buildup on both sides of its mouth. Upon closer examination, there was a loose piece on the right side of its mouth. I was not able to determine whether it was a loose piece of tartar or a loose tooth covered in tartar. I also observed a small amount of red fluid coming from this area in what I assume to be blood. Dental issues can be painful and the mouth/gums can become infected. In addition the infection can become systemic causing further health issues. The dog needs to be seen by the Attending Veterinarian and treated per his/her instructions. Correct by 4/16/19.

August 11, 2025 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0774

47 dogs recorded (24 adults · 23 puppies).

  • Sheltered enclosure doors soiled

    Enclosures are not being cleaned properly. In approximately 6 sheltered primary enclosures housing approximately 6 adult dogs, the door leading from the inside section to the outside run and the frame surrounding these doors are soiled with brown material. Inadequate and infrequent cleaning and sanitization allows for the growth of disease-causing agents that may increase the risk of health hazards for the animals. Appropriate cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces must include removal of the buildup of material found and to prevent accumulation of this material. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. Correct by ensuring hard surfaces with which the dogs come into contact with are spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (b) of this subpart to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. Correct by 29-AUG-2025.

  • Fecal tests not documented

    The Licensee was unable to provide documentation of fecal tests performed. The Licensee stated that fecal tests for 10% of adult dogs were performed last year in accordance with the schedule in the Program of Veterinary Care but they could not provide the test results. Failure to document testing results may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Medical records must be maintained and include the dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended test or examination. Correct by documenting the results of all testing and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 18-AUG-2025.
