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)

    (iii) The interior height of a primary enclosure ***The top of the outdoor part of the shelter building has a sloped roof line that measures 29" on the end attached to the building and 15" on the short end. The 3 (2 adult Beagles and 1 Terrier type dog) dogs in the enclosures did not have the 6" space from their heads to the top of the enclosure throughout the entire outdoor part of the enclosure. At the rear part of the outside part, the decreasing slope of the roof causes the dogs to lay down in the last 12"-15" of the enclosure.

  • Adult dog 4-inch headroom (Repeat)

    In another separate raised enclosure was an adult dog that had only 4" from the top of the head to the ceiling of the enclosure.

September 28, 2017 — Routine inspection, USDA 43-A-0516

106 dogs recorded (81 adults · 25 puppies).

  • 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

November 2, 2022 — Re-license inspection, USDA 43-A-0516

102 dogs recorded (67 adults · 35 puppies).

  • Four-dog enclosure, two shelters

    In the outdoor enclosures there is an enclosure containing 4 medium size adult dogs and only 2 plastic shelters. The shelters do not provide sufficient space for 2 dogs to sit, stand, lay down and turn around freely. … One enclosure contains 4 adult dogs, 1 contains 3 dogs, 1 contains 2 dogs and 1 contains 1 dog.

  • Enclosures lack sufficient shade

    There are 4 enclosures that do not provide enough shaded areas for each of the dogs in the enclosure.

  • Shelter missing wind and rain break

    In the outdoor enclosures one of the shelters does not have a wind break and rain break at the entrance. The wind break and rain break is important to keep wind and rain out of the shelter to provide better shelter for the dogs. Shelters in outdoor facilities for dogs must contain a roof, four sides, and a floor, and must be provided with a wind break and rain break at the entrance and must be maintained at all times. This is a 1st Re-license Inspection for a Class “A” license.
