What inspectors wrote
June 21, 2016 — Routine inspection, USDA 47-A-0466
70 dogs recorded (46 adults · 24 puppies).
Mastiff female with green eye discharge
A two year old brindle Mastiff female (ID# 837037092), named Hilda had excessive drainage of greenish discharge from both eyes. The white portion of the eye, or sclera, is pink to red in color. The condition of the eyes can be due to infections, allergies, injury, irritation or other medical conditions that could be painful. The licensee must have this dog evaluated by the veterinarian for veterinary care and appropriate treatment plan. The outcome of this consultation must be documented and provided to the inspector upon request. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times. To be corrected by, 28-June-2016.
Standing water around Mastiff water bucket
The one Mastiff housed behind the barn has a plastic water receptacle with continuous water flow. The hose was not attached to the bucket and allowing for water to flow onto the ground around the water receptacle. There was standing water around this watering bucket. All facilities must be kept in good repair, so they are structurally sound. This will prevent the water from flowing onto the ground and creating a living and breeding area for pest that can increase disease potential to the dog. To be corrected by, 3-July-2016.
Rusty, pitted metal feeders
There was three metal self-feeders used to feed five adult dogs. These metal feeders had excessive rust and were pitting along the bottoms. The prevention of required cleaning and sanitization is caused from these rusty, pitting metal surfaces. Therefore, increasing the disease potential for the dogs. All metal surfaces must be free of excessive rust and pitting surfaces caused by rust that prevent required cleaning and sanitization. Proper cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces will decrease the disease potential for the animals. To be corrected by, 15-July-2016.
Peeling paint and algae on shed wall
The back wall of the White Shed had a board along the bottom of the wall. … This board and post had paint that has come off exposing bare wood. The wood board is green in areas indicating algae was growing on the surface.
Chewed plastic divider and water buckets
* A plastic divider inside the White Shed was excessively chewed along the edges. There are three adult dogs and three puppies housed in these areas of the White Shed. * There are three plastic watering receptacles or buckets used to water four adult dogs. These plastic watering receptacles are excessively chewed along the top of the buckets. There was greyish dirt or debris in the chewed areas.
Grimy walls in White Shed enclosure
The first enclosure to the left of the door in the White Shed had an accumulation of brown to grey grime on the walls. This indicates that daily spot-cleaning is not taking place. Without daily spot-cleaning the disease hazards increases for the one adult and three puppies. All enclosures must be spot-cleaned daily and sanitized often enough to reduce the disease hazards for the dogs. To be corrected by, 28-June-2016.
Standing water around Mastiff water bucket
The one Mastiff housed behind the barn had standing water around the watering receptacle or bucket. This standing water can attract pests and increase disease risks to the adult dog. Operators must provide for regular and more frequent collection or removal of water from the enclosure. This will minimized pests and reduce the disease risks for the dog. To be corrected by, 3-July-2016.
Mastiff loose tin and bent feeder
The one Mastiff housed behind the barn had a tin covering the barn wall of the enclosure. One section of tin is loose. This is exposing a sharp edge at the height of the dog in normal standing position in the enclosure. * One metal self-feeder is used to feed two adult dogs in the outdoor enclosures. The bottom of this metal feeder is bent outward exposing a sharp edge. This sharp is at the height of the dogs in normal standing position. These sharp edges could injure the dogs in the enclosures. All enclosures must be free of sharp points and edges that could injure the animals. To be corrected by, 10-July-2016.
