What inspectors wrote
September 10, 2024 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0530
292 dogs recorded (154 adults · 138 puppies).
Birthing pens frayed carpet fibers
There were 13 whelping pens that had excessively worn carpets. The carpets were seen to have excessively frayed edges (2-3 inches in length) with longs strands (4-6 inches) of carpet fibers hanging off. In some cases, the puppies have ripped off these long strands and created small balls of tangled carpet fibers. Frayed edges and long strands of carpet fibers can be problematic because they may cause illness or injury if a puppy ingests the pieces of carpet or if they wrap around their appendages. Correct by ensuring all surfaces in the enclosures are maintained on a regular basis and that surfaces which cannot be readily cleaned are replaced when worn. Correct by: September 17, 2024.
June 18, 2026 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0530
303 dogs recorded (182 adults · 121 puppies).

Multiple ventilation fans were observed with an excess accumulation of dust in the metal wire covers. Failure to adequately clean the premises can lead to illness, transmission of diseases, create a fire hazard, and attract unwanted pests.
