  • Broken puppy doors, exposed wood

    There were 4 kennels containing 13 dogs total that had puppy doors between the indoor and outdoor runs that were in need of repair. The truscore panels bordering the puppy doors on the inside of the kennels were broken resulting in jagged edges that could injure the dogs. The broken areas also resulted in exposed wooden beams that were not impervious to moisture. Failure to maintain primary enclosures in good repair with no sharp edges can result in injury to the dogs. Exposed wood that is not impervious to moisture cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized and may result in disease hazards that affect the dogs. Primary enclosures must be constructed and maintained so that they have no sharp points or edges that could injure the dogs. Correct by: May 6, 2026
