41 dogs recorded (25 adults · 16 puppies).
The Record of Dogs and Cats on Hand (APHIS form 7005) does not correctly disclose all of the dogs present at the facility. The facility currently has 25 adult dogs with only 21 adult dogs listed on the APHIS form 7005. Inaccurate or incomplete records do not allow for APHIS officials to perform a complete inspection of the facility and does not facilitate proper tracking of animals. Correct by ensuring that the records are fully and correctly disclosed for all dogs that are purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control.
Three dog houses that are provided for 5 dogs, located in building 3, have excessive chew damage present. The chew damage is located around the entrance and protruding rim around each dog house. In the whelping area of building 2, there is chew damage present on the surfaces on the front walls of the kennel around the top rim. The damage was present on 5 kennel front walls. Chew damage can create sharp points that can cause injury to the animals and can not be properly sanitized. Correct by ensuring that all surfaces including houses, dens, and other furniture type objects within

In an outdoor enclosure containing 1 adult Welsh Corgi dog the hard plastic/rubber flap that is being utilized as a wind/rain break has been chewed leaving only the upper half of the entrance to the shelter covered. Without an adequate barrier at the entrance to the shelter the wind and rain could enter the shelter making the dogs cold and damp. Shelters are important to provide warmth and protection from wind and severe weather. The facility must provide a sufficient barrier to block wind and rain from entering the shelters. Correct by 10 July 2025.
The three outdoor housing enclosures currently housing 3 adult Welsh Corgi dogs have multiple vertical support poles that are made of wood that was painted but the paint on the bottom portion of the poles has either peeled away or been removed. The large shelter for one of the enclosures also has a wooden ramp that has not been sealed. Water was poured on the surface of the ramp and was immediately absorbed by the wood with no evidence of beading. The last enclosure housing a single dog has two wooden boards at the base of the fencing to prevent the dogs from digging under the fencing that are excessively worn, chewed, and do not appear to be sealed. Building structures made of unsealed wood cannot be properly cleaned or sanitized when permeable to moisture. The licensee must ensure that all structures the animals come in contact with are impervious to moisture and able to be readily cleaned and sanitized or removed/replaced once they become worn or soiled. Correct by 26 July 2025
Food receptacles are not being kept clean and sanitized, located to prevent contamination by pests, and made of a durable material kept in good repair that can be easily sanitized. In two primary enclosures located in the outdoor housing area of the facility that is currently housing 3 adult Welsh Corgi dogs the facility is utilizing 3 metal gravity feeders as the food receptacles for the dogs. The feeders were observed with cobwebs encompassing the upper half of the interior of each feeder. One of the feeders was observed to be contaminated by too numerous to count ants going into and out of the bottom of the feeder. The interior surface at the bottom of the feeders was also observed with rust causing a rough irregular surface. Failure to keep food receptacles clean and located to minimize contamination with pests such as ants or spiders could lead to the food not being palatable to the dogs or even lead to disease transmission that could affect the health and well-being of the dogs. In addition, cobwebs could allow the buildup of organic material or harbor microorganisms that could also lead to disease and health problems in the dogs. Surfaces that are affected by rust are not being maintained in a manner that allows them to be easily cleaned and sanitized which could prevent removal of microorganisms increasing disease hazards to the dogs. The applicant must ensure that food receptacles are kept cleaned and sanitized in accordance with 3.11(b) and be located so as to minimize contamination by pests. Feeding receptacles must also either be made of a durable material in good repair that can be easily cleaned and sanitized or be disposable. Correct by 10 July 2025
The facility is not following the Program of Veterinary Care for fecal sampling. The Program of Veterinary Care states fecal exams will be performed annually with 10% of the kennel being sampled for intestinal parasites. The facility representative stated that fecal samples were not submitted for the last two years. Failure to follow the parasite control program approved by the attending veterinarian may not properly protect the dogs from parasites and may allow illness to go undetected and untreated, which may cause pain and unnecessary discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the parasite control testing schedule approved by the attending veterinarian to protect the dogs from parasites and other pests (worms, coccidia, giardia and heartworm) and have the dogs tested annually.

The primary enclosures in the outdoor housing area are not being sufficiently cleaned. A primary enclosure housing 2 adult Welsh Pembroke Corgis was observed with too numerous to count piles of excreta throughout the enclosure. Additionally, a primary enclosure housing a single adult Welsh Pembroke Corgi was observed with too numerous to count piles of excreta in the northeastern corner of the enclosure. The excreta observed in the primary enclosures varied in appearance from fresh to frozen solid. Failure to remove excreta from primary enclosures daily can result in an accumulation of feces which can lead to increased disease hazards, discomfort for the animals, increased odors, and/or attract unwanted pests. Excreta and other waste must be removed from primary enclosures daily to prevent an excessive accumulation of feces, to prevent soiling of the dogs contained in the primary enclosures, and to reduce disease hazards, insects, pests, and odors. Correct by 18 February 2026
The facility does not have the names of treatments, nor the dates of administration recorded in the medical records. While reviewing medical records for vaccines there was a 5-month-old Maltese female (Microchip #4092) found to not have a current medical record for the administration of the 7-way vaccine. The program of veterinary care prescribes that juvenile dogs should be administered a 7-way (DAPP/Leptospirosis) vaccine at 9, 12, and 15 weeks of age. When inquiring with the facility representative on the vaccine status of this dog the representative stated the 7-way vaccines were administered as prescribed, but he forgot to document it on a medical record. Failure to record the names and dates for all treatments administered does not allow for APHIS officials to determine if adequate veterinary care has been provided for the animals at the facility. The licensee must ensure that the names of all vaccines and treatments administered, and the dates of administration are recorded and maintained for review by APHIS officials. Correct from this day 11 February 2026 and going forward.
27 dogs recorded (19 adults · 8 puppies).
The facility is not following the Program of Veterinary Care for vaccinations. The Program of Veterinary Care currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for Distemper/Hepatitis/Parvovirus/Leptospirosis (7 or 9-way vaccine) vaccines at 9 weeks of age, 12 weeks of age, 15 weeks of age, and annually going forward. The available medical record for a 15-week-old female Maltese puppy (microchip # 2524) born on January 7, 2026, does not show a vaccine containing leptospirosis has been administered. When inquiring with the licensee if this puppy has received a vaccine with leptospirosis he stated she has only received the 5-way vaccines which does not contain leptospirosis. Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, leptospirosis, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases. Correct by May 6, 2026.
