What inspectors wrote
August 12, 2025 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0647
74 dogs recorded (34 adults · 40 puppies).
- Bassett Hound puppies vaccinated too early
The facility is not following the vaccination schedule in the written Program of Veterinary Care (PVC). The PVC states for Rabies vaccinations that dogs must be at least 16 weeks old. Medical records indicate that 3 Bassett Hound puppies (#6655,6656 and 6657) received the Rabies vaccine at approximately 10 weeks of age. Failure to administer required vaccines in accordance with a veterinary approved schedule may result in animals to not be adequately protected against disease and can cause pain and distress. Correct by ensuring all animals are vaccinated in accordance with the schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian and contact the Attending Veterinarian to create a plan to determine when to administer future vaccinations for these animals. Correct by 19-AUG-2025.
- Seven adult dogs missing rabies records
The facility does not maintain complete medical records for all animals. Seven adult dogs (#3918, #3919, #3967, #3968, #4254, #4432, #3232) were overdue for the Rabies Vaccination. The facility states that the animals had received the vaccine this year and were up to date but they did not record that information in the medical record. Failure to maintain adequate medical records may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Complete medical records must be maintained and include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. Correct by documenting all treatments given and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 19-AUG-2025.
