125 dogs recorded (74 adults · 51 puppies).

  • Elkhound and 3 German Shepherds overdue rabies vaccination

    The facility is not following the Program of Vet Care (PVC) for vaccinations. Of the 74 adult dogs, 4 are not up to date on the rabies vaccination. The current Program of Vet Care prescribes for the vaccinations to be performed yearly. - Adult female Elkhound “Tracie” #9417 is overdue on the rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine was last given on 4-19-23 and was due on 4-19-24. The parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current. - Adult female German Shepherd #7353 is overdue on the rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine was last given on 2-27-23 and was due on 2-27-24. The parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current. - Adult female German Shepherd #7355 is overdue on the rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine was last given on 2-27-23 and was due on 2-27-24. The parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current. - Adult male German Shepherd #9068 is overdue on the rabies vaccine. The rabies vaccine was last given on 2-27-23 and was due on 2-27-24. The parvovirus and rabies vaccines are current. Failure to follow the PVC leaves the dogs susceptible to rabies, which is a fatal virus and, if contracted, will cause pain, distress, and suffering. It is also important for dogs to be vaccinated since rabies is a disease that can infect humans. Correct by administering all of the vaccines required by the Animal Welfare Act (distemper, parvovirus, and rabies) in accordance with a schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian and vaccine manufacturer recommendations.

  • Medical records missing vaccine names

    The facility is not maintaining complete medical records. In 5 of the adult dogs (#0528, #0524, #0526, #6782, #0536), the applicant recorded that only the Neopar (parvovirus) vaccine was administered, when, in fact, he attests that both the Neopar and Neovac (distemper virus) vaccines were administered the same day. The vaccines were given in January 2024 and are therefore current. Failure to completely maintain 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 listed under 3.13(b) of the Animal Welfare Act.
