41 dogs recorded (27 adults · 14 puppies).
Frayed carpet in birthing box
In building #2 one enclosure had a whelping box that contained a carpet surface. The edges of the carpet were frayed and had long threads. This could allow the dog and puppies to become caught up and tangled and possibly become injured. In addition, the dogs can chew and ingest carpet material. Any carpet material that dogs may come in contact with must be replaced as often as necessary in order to maintain it in good condition and keep it sanitary. The licensee must address this issue. ******Correct by October 15, 2022
August 31, 2023 — Routine inspection, USDA 21-A-0213

Puppies under 16 weeks not identified
Several puppies which had been recently weaned did not have a form of ID. The puppies had been identified utilizing cage card methods, however the cards did not contain the complete information required. In addition, the puppies had been moved to a different enclosure from the dam since being weaned and the cage cards were not attached to the enclosure containing the puppies. Puppies under 16 weeks that are identified using cage cards must have the card attached to the outside of the enclosure. In addition, cage cards that serve as ID purposes as well as inventory purposes must contain the required information and be attached to the outside of the enclosure where the puppies are located. The licensee needs to correct this issue. **********Correct by September 21, 2023
No written emergency plan
An emergency plan had not yet been documented by the licensee. A written plan must be developed which describes the steps that will be taken in order to provide care for the animals in the event of an emergency. The plan should include any emergency or event which would be reasonably expected to occur in the geographical area. The facility must develop and document a contingency plan. *********Correct by October 1, 2023
Food stored next to chemicals
