  • Litters missing cage card info

    The litters for Chanel DOB 9-28-2024, Sassy DOB 10-9-2024 and Snickers DOB 10-4-2024 were missing information on their cage cards. Complete and accurate records including date of birth, regulated animal ID numbers (for puppies housed without the female), description, sex and dates of sale or death are necessary for proper management and traceability of the animals. Live puppies or kittens, less than 16 weeks of age, shall be identified by: An official tag as described in § 2.51, a distinctive and legible tattoo marking approved by the Administrator, a plastic-type collar acceptable to the Administrator which has legibly placed thereon the information required for an official tag pursuant to Sec. 2.51 or cage card attached to the enclosure that identifies the puppies with the female and to include all required information of the litter.

  • Bichon with two toes trapped (Direct)

    The inspector identified one adult female Bichon "Frisky Snowball" with two toes on her rear right foot stuck in the flooring. The dog was panting with tail wagging, the tail wagging stopped when the facility representative was removing the stuck toes. The dog was freed from the flooring by a facility representative approximately 2 minutes later. When the inspector examined the toes, the dog pulled back from the inspector's touch likely due to tenderness. The toes were slightly reddened with a small 2mm abrasion with deeper reddened tissue on one of toes. The dog had a mild limp and was bearing some weight on that foot. The flooring was plastic coated diamond tenderfoot flooring with 1/2" by 3/4" openings. Cleaning staff had left this building approximately 11am and the inspector identified the toes caught at 12:36pm. Another facility representative stated that this does happen about two times a year. The dog's toes being trapped in the flooring lead to distress of the animal and a soft tissue abrasion with limping. Primary enclosures must be constructed and maintained so that they have floors that are constructed in a manner that protects the dogs' and cats' feet and legs from injury, and that, if of mesh or slatted construction, do not allow the dogs' and cats' feet to pass through any openings in the floor.

  • Bichon Gwen limping, toe pad wounds (Direct, Repeat)

    One female Bichon "Gwen" MC# 5219 was identified by inspectors to be limping and not weight bearing on her rear left leg Upon examination, there were two dried, reddened soft tissue wounds approximately the size of dime each on the toe paw pads of her rear left leg. The dog did pull back when palpated on this foot. Additionally, this dog has long nails present. Untreated lameness is causing pain and possible distress to this animal. The facility must use appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries in the regulated animals. The facility must ensure each animal receives adequate veterinary care at all times. The facility must have this dog evaluated by a licensed veterinarian to assess their health to develop an effective treatment plan. These medical records must be available for APHIS inspection.

  • Rusted wire on enclosures

    Two enclosures with 4 adult dogs had pitting, rusted wire on the front of their outdoor portion of their enclosures. Excessive rust may prevent proper cleaning and sanitizing and lead to exposure of disease hazards. The surfaces of housing facilities - including houses, dens, and other furniture-type fixtures and objects within the facility - must be constructed in a manner and made of materials that allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized, or removed or replaced when worn or soiled. Interior surfaces and any surfaces that come in contact with dogs must be free of excessive rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitization, or that affects the structural strength of the surface.

  • Puppies under 4 months housed with adults

    There were 3 enclosures each housing one puppy (under 4 months old) and one young adult (dog over 4 months old) that was not the puppy's dam or foster dam. Housing puppies with adult dogs that are not their dam or foster dam may result in injuries due to compatibility problems. Puppies under 4 months of age or less may not be housed in the same primary enclosure with adult dogs other than their dams or foster dams. This was corrected at the time of inspection. To be corrected by: 15-April-2026

  • Enclosures with hair and organic film (Repeat)

    The facility has not been sanitizing as often as necessary to prevent an accumulation of organic debris in primary enclosures. In at least 2 primary enclosures housing 4 dogs, there is a light film of cobwebs, hair and dry organic material on the top of the wire enclosures. One enclosure housing 2 adult dogs had a wet film of hair and organic material on the front of the outdoor portion of the wire enclosure. Failure to sanitize enclosures often enough to prevent an accumulation of debris may increase the risk of disease hazards towards the dogs. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. Hard surfaces must be sanitized using one of the following methods: live steam under pressure or washing with hot water (at least 180° F) and soap or detergent. The licensee must clean and sanitize the primary enclosures and ensure that all aspects of the enclosure are maintained in a clean and sanitized condition in order to support the health of the dogs.

  • Attending vet visits over 12 months apart

    The attending veterinarian did not complete the regularly scheduled site visit within 12 months of each visit. One was completed on May 25, 2024 and the next was completed on September 17, 2025. Regularly scheduled site visits are essential in determining if all aspects of animal care (nutrition, health, environment, water, and air quality, etc.) are being provided to the dogs. The licensee must have regularly scheduled visits, not less than once every 12 months, by the attending veterinarian to the facility where animals are kept, to assess and ensure the adequacy of veterinary care and other aspects of animal care and use. To be corrected by: 15-April-2026

  • About 78 adult dogs not given annual exams

    The complete physical examinations from head to tail on approximately 78 adult dogs by the attending veterinarian was not completed within 12 months. One was completed in May 25, 2024 and then the next was performed September 17, 2025. Failure to have each dog examined at least once every 12 months may result in delay of treatment and diagnosis for disease, illness, or injury. Correct by ensuring that a complete physical examination from head to tail of each adult dog by the attending veterinarian is conducted not less than once every 12 months. To be corrected by: 15-April-2026

  • Seven adult dogs with long nails

    The facility is not following their preventative plan for properly trimmed nails. The plan states adult dog's nails will be trimmed once monthly, seven adult dogs were identified with long nails and the licensee stated it had likely been more than a month since they were last trimmed. Long nails may affect the gait of the animal and lead to possible injuries. The facility must follow their program of veterinary care's preventative care and treatment plans for healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, and clean and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth, To be corrected by: 20-April-2026

  • Sedation reversal medication not recorded

    The facility is not recording the medication name and date of the sedation reversal medication given during procedures. Without proper documentation, it is difficult to determine if the animals received adequate veterinary care. Dealers must keep copies of medical records for dogs and make the records available for APHIS inspection. These records must include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. To be corrected: 15-April-2026

    Penny's six puppies born 2-July-2026 and Marley's three puppies born 1-July-2026 and one additional foster puppy with Marley's litter are not individually identified with an official identification number on the cage cards. The facility uses cage cards as the litter's identification and inventory and the puppies are usually identified (microchip placed under the skin) within one week of birth. Proper dog identification is required for APHIS officials to trace the movements of animals. Ensure that each puppy under 16 weeks of age is properly identified in a timely manner. To be corrected by: 30-July-2026

  • Missing birthing medical records (Repeat)

    The facility is not creating medical records for female dogs having complications with whelping. The licensee is contacting the attending veterinarian in a timely manner and following their guidance but failed to write any medical records detailing when the issue was identified, plan for treatment and care and treatments performed. Three female dogs have had severe complications with whelping since April 2026 and the licensee can verbally state most of the veterinarian guidance and treatment plans but does not have anything recorded. Records of treatment for problems or diseases must be kept so that APHIS officials can ensure that appropriate care is obtained for animals who are diseased, ill, or injured. The licensee must keep and maintain records of any treatments given to animals in their care. Records should include the date and description of the problem, examination findings, test results, a plan for treatment and care, and treatment procedures performed.
