- Three adult dogs not on Form 7005
There are three adult dogs in the facility that were not listed on an APHIS form 7005. One of the dogs was born at the kennel and did not have any identification. Two other dogs had been received from outside sources. There were also no 7006s available for the dogs that had been received from outside of the facility. An accurate animal inventory is required so that USDA inspectors can ensure all animals are accounted for and receiving adequate veterinary care. Records of animal acquisition and disposition, including births and deaths, must be kept by the facility to ensure animals can be traced in case of an animal disease outbreak and to ensure there are not high mortality rates in the animals. Each breeder shall use Record of Acquisition and Dogs and Cats on Hand (APHIS Form 7005) and Record of Disposition of Dogs and Cats (APHIS Form 7006) to make, keep, and maintain the information required by paragraph (a)(1) of section 2.75 (a)(1). Correction Date: October 14th, 2024
