Housing facilities and areas must be kept free of any accumulation of trash, discarded matter and equipment. Equipment used in husbandry practices must be stored properly to allow for required cleaning. Housing facilities that are kept cleaned will provide for the health of the animals with the prevention of vermin, rodents, insects and other pests. To be corrected by, 26-May-2016.

These worn and excessively chewed surfaces cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. Improper cleaning and sanitization can increase the disease hazards for the 14 adult dogs. All worn and chewed hard surfaces that come into contact with the animals must be replaced. Hard surfaces that are not worn or chewed will allow for required cleaning and sanitization. Thus, reducing the disease potential for the animals. To be corrected by, 30-May-2016.
- Grimy plastic dividers and doors
Several of the plastic enclosure dividers, back walls and dog doors had an accumulation of brown grime or waste on the surface. This can increase the disease hazards for 23 adult dogs. All surfaces must be spot-cleaned daily and must have required sanitization. This is for the prevention of an accumulation of waste on the hard surfaces and to reduce disease hazards to the animals. To be corrected by 24-May-2016.

Also, there was an uncovered bucket of corn intermingled with the open bags of dog food. There was empty dog food bags, boxes and taxi carriers piled in and around the dog food. All open bags of dog food and other feed must be stored in leakproof containers for the prevention of contamination and spoilage to the dog food and vermin infestation. All bags of dog food must be stored off the floor and away from the walls to provide for required cleaning underneath and around the supplies. This will prevent vermin infestation. All empty dog food bags, boxes and taxi carriers must be stored in a manner for the prevention of an infestation of vermin. Proper storage of dog feed will prevent vermin infestation, spoilage and contamination to the feed for the 27 adult dogs and seven puppies. To be corrected by, 26-May-2016.
- Sharp points in enclosures

- Grimy watering receptacles
Five watering receptacles used to water 14 adult dogs had an accumulation of gray to brown grime or debris inside the receptacles. There was bedding and an accumulation of brown grime or debris at the bottom of some of the receptacles. This indicates these watering receptacles are not be cleaned and sanitized often enough.
