Chihuahua pen, enclosures with grime
The majority of door inserts in the sheltered portion of the facility have a buildup of brown dirt and grime along the sides and bottom of the doorway, including multiple door flaps on the inside. The buildup is quite thick in some enclosures and greasy in consistency. There are five whelping boxes that have a moderate amount of brown grime buildup along the walls and runners of the boxes that do contain puppies.

While the enclosures are being spot cleaned, they are not being cleaned thoroughly enough to prevent an accumulation of dirt and grime on the walls, runners and doorway inserts.

A buildup of dirt, grime, hair and old feces in the primary enclosures can be a source of disease or other health issues if left in contact with the regulated animals and around their food sources.
