What inspectors wrote
August 6, 2014 — Routine inspection, USDA 43-A-0516
118 dogs recorded (73 adults · 45 puppies).
Beagle overgrown dewclaw nail(Direct)
In one of the outdoor enclosures there were 2 Beagles. One was observed to be licking the right hind foot of the other dog. Upon closer observation, that dog (JB's Joy III, m/c 105-888-606) had a very long and curled toenail on the dewclaw. The pad was reddened, swollen and sensitive to pressure. The toenail was pressing on the skin, causing a dent in the skin, but not yet piercing through. The nail can continue to grow and cause injury to the skin, and become more painful. The dog must be evaluated by a veterinarian and the treatment directions must be followed. Documentation of the evaluation and treatment must be available to APHIS officials. TO BE CORRECTED BY: 8 AUGUST 2014
22 adult dogs missing ID
Twenty-two of the 73 adult dogs do not have any identification numbers. Most of the dogs have a microchip. The dogs without microchips have no collar and tag, tattoo or other method to identify them. Identification is necessary to know the dogs with certainty, to provide medication to the proper dog and to identify them in transfers of ownership and transportation. The dogs must all be identified. TO BE CORRECTED BY: 14 AUGUST 2014
Beagles and Terrier low headroom(Repeat)

Male Pug very thin, eye discharge(Direct)
Otis (m/c0071B72F7) a male fawn Pug, was very thin. His ribs, backbone, hip bones and shoulders were easily observed and there was a very defined abdominal tuck. Both eyes are crusted with a dry discharge and previous veterinary notes stated that the dog was blind. The owner stated that the dog had lost weight before and was treated with dewormer and different dog food and that was her plan now. There was no consultation with a veterinarian to establish a diagnosis or to confirm that this was the correct treatment for this dog. Eye conditions can be uncomfortable or painful and the discharges can attract flies and cause the condition to worsen. Poor body condition can be the result of parasites, inadequate nutrition, or an underlying medical condition. The dog must be evaluated by a veterinarian within 2 days of this inspection, to know with certainty the problem and the correct treatment. Documentation of the evaluation, recommended treatment and delivered treatments must be available to APHIS officials. The veterinarian was called during the inspection for an appointment for that same evening. Correction date: 1 Oct, 2017
