What inspectors wrote

March 19, 2014 — Routine inspection, USDA 48-B-0081

1,181 dogs recorded (755 adults · 426 puppies).

  • Hole dug under dog shelter

    One enclosure housing two dogs has a large hole dug under the dog shelter. Holes dug under structures may undermine the stability of the structures and may result in the hole collapsing. Facilities must be kept in good repair to protect the animals from potential injury. This hole was filled during the inspection.

  • Rust and flaking paint on panels

    There are metal panels located along the lower edge of three enclosures (#21 of the "Free Willy" building and #16 and #10 of the "Toy Land" building) that have flaking paint and are starting to rust. Surfaces with flaking paint and rust cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. All surfaces must be maintained to allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized. Correct by 9 April 2014.

  • Dogs without adequate shade

    Four dogs housed in two enclosures are not provided with adequate areas of shade. Lack of protection from the direct rays of the sun may cause discomfort to the dogs. All dogs in outdoor housing facilities must be provided with areas of shade large enough for all the dogs to have access at the same time. Shade material was provided during the inspection.

  • Feces piled in three enclosures

    There is an excessive accumulation of feces in three enclosures. The licensee stated these enclosures were cleaned 6 days ago. Excessive accumulation of feces may lead to an increase in diseases, odors, and pests. All primary enclosures must be cleaned on a daily basis. These enclosures were cleaned during the inspection. This routine inspection was conducted on 3/19/2014 with the licensee.

March 4, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 48-B-0081

1,147 dogs recorded (775 adults · 372 puppies).

  • Broken paneling exposing wood

    In the outdoor portion of an enclosure in one of the sheltered buildings, there was a broken section of paneling approximately six inches by nine inches that exposed the wood underneath. Exposed wood is not impervious to moisture and cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. The licensee must ensure that all surfaces be maintained on a regular basis, and any surfaces within the facility that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized must be replaced when worn or soiled. Corrected at the time of inspection.

  • Chewed heating pad power cords

    There are at least 6 electric power cords for the heating pads in one whelping building where the cord protectors are no longer protecting the cords. Some of the live electric cords have chew marks on them from the dogs. Live electric power cords could cause injury to the dogs if they are chewed by the dogs. All power cords must be installed in a manner that protects the dogs from coming into direct contact with the cords. This was corrected at the time of the inspection.

January 27, 2016 — Routine inspection, USDA 48-B-0081

1,080 dogs recorded (695 adults · 385 puppies).

  • Chinese Pug right eye cloudy, reddened (Direct)

    An adult male Chinese pug with tag number 14 has problems with his right eye. The surface of the eye (cornea) is uneven in appearance with areas that are thick and white and an area that is dark in color. The "white" of the right eye is more red than the other eye and there are prominent blood vessels visible there and on the cornea. Eye problems can be a result of trauma, infection, and other medical problems and can be painful. The licensee must have this dog examined by a licensed veterinarian by close of business on 28 January 2016 in order to ensure that an accurate diagnosis is obtained and that an appropriate treatment plan is developed and followed. The licensee must document the outcome of this consultation and make it available to the inspector upon request.

  • Flaking paint on metal panels

    There are metal panels located along the lower edges of the outdoor portions of several enclosures of the "Terrier Turf" building and the "Tiny Tike" building that have flaking paint and are starting to rust. Surfaces that have flaking paint and are rusted cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. All surfaces must be maintained to allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized. Correct by 27 April 2016.

  • Saint Bernards pushed aside bedding

    There are three Saint Bernard dogs housed in an outdoor housing facility. There is some bedding in the shelter structure but it is dirty and mostly pushed to the side of the shelter so that not all three dogs can make use of it. While the temperature at the time of inspection was 54.7 degrees F making bedding unnecessary at that moment, a search on the NOAA website (weather.gov) for the licensee's zip code shows the low temperature the previous night was 21 degrees F. Lack of bedding in cold weather can result in dogs that cannot maintain a safe body temperature. The licensee must provide clean, dry bedding material when the ambient temperature is below 50 degrees F and additional bedding when the temperature is below 35 degrees F. This was corrected during the inspection.

  • Feces piled in Village Inn

    There is an excessive accumulation of feces in at least 10 of the outdoor elevated portions of the "Village Inn" building. According to the representative these enclosures were last cleaned 6 days ago. Accumulations of feces can increase disease transmission and can soil the dogs in these enclosures. Excreta must be removed from primary enclosures on a daily basis. This was corrected at the time of the inspection.

July 11, 2016 — Routine inspection, USDA 48-B-0081

1,180 dogs recorded (755 adults · 425 puppies).

  • Female Shih Tzu swollen eyelid (Direct, Repeat)

    Female, adult Shih Tzu with tag number 12 has an eye problem. The lower lid of the right eye is very swollen, red and the edge is uneven. There is copious thick, light colored discharge around the eyelids and in the eye. There is also discharge in the fur around the right eye area and on the face below the eye. The "white" of the eye is not red. This dog has not been evaluated by a veterinarian.

  • Pomeranian scabby tail, hairless mass (Direct, Repeat)

    Female, adult Pomeranian with tag number 48 was seen repeatedly rubbing the right side of her back and rear end on the cage wall. When examined, she has an area of thickened, bumpy skin with a few scabs covering about half of the right side of her tail and next to the head of the tail. She also has a firm, hairless mass on the right side of her back. The skin in this area is dry and mildly rough. The licensee states this dog has been "dipped" for parasites but has not been evaluated by a veterinarian. … The rubbing on the cage wall shows that this condition is uncomfortable or itchy for this dog.

  • Dogs pushing enclosure covers

    There were dogs in two enclosures that were observed pushing the covers to their enclosures up and sticking their heads between the covers and enclosure walls. Dogs can be injured when not securely contained in their enclosures. All enclosures must be constructed in a manner that securely contains the animals and protects them from injury. The dogs in one enclosure were moved to an enclosure with a secure top at the time of the inspection. Correct by 19 July 2016.

  • Rusted metal panels and mesh (Repeat)

    There are metal panels located along the lower edges of the outdoor portions of several enclosures of the "Mini Motel" building and the southwest quadrat of the "Free Willy" building that have flaking paint and are starting to rust. The expanded metal on the northeast side of the "Village" building is rusting with some structural loss. Surfaces that have flaking paint and are rusted cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, as well as rust can affect structural strength. All surfaces must be maintained to allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized and maintain structural integrity.

  • Temp over 85°F

    The ambient temperature in two buildings were recorded by the inspector's Kestrel to exceed 85 degrees F. The temperature recorded in the "Tiny Tyke" building at 2:15pm was 88.4 degrees F, at 3:50pm was 91.9 degrees, and 86.2 degrees F at 6:53pm. The temperature recorded in the "Nickel" building at 2:27pm was 86.9 degrees F, at 4:05pm was 87.6 degrees F and 86.1 degrees at 6:45pm. These temperature readings were recorded on top of the dog enclosures at the end of the building farthest from the air conditioner (temperatures recorded approximately half-way in the building were at or below 85 degrees F). In addition to the air conditioner, there was one fan in both buildings. In the interim of temperature readings the facility representative had additional fans added to the buildings and had some of the windows covered with an opaque material. Temperatures above 85 degrees F may cause discomfort to the dogs and may lead to heat stress. The ambient temperature must not rise above 85 degrees F for more than 4 consecutive hours when dogs are present. Correct by 19 July 2016.

  • Puppies' feet passing through flooring

    There are puppies in at least two separate elevated enclosures on flooring with 1"X1" openings. Feet and legs of these puppies were observed passing through these openings. Flooring with openings too large for the animals feet may cause injury to the animals housed in those enclosures. Enclosures must have flooring that do not allow the dogs' feet to pass through any openings in the floor. Correct by 19 July 2016.
