What inspectors wrote
November 18, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0492
64 dogs recorded (51 adults · 13 puppies).
Bulldog cherry eye care not provided
A male cream and white bulldog (with no ID) was found with red masses of tissue on inner corners of both eyes. These masses appear to be a condition commonly known as "cherry eye". There was no written documentation that the facility had addressed this problem or that the attending veterinarian was notified of this problem. This dog requires veterinary attention. Failure to provide veterinary care to animals in the kennel can result in pain and suffering in the dogs. Correct this by having this dog examined by a licensed veterinarian and following all recommended treatments. The licensee must maintain documentation of treatments and exam for future inspection by APHIS officials. Correct by: November 23, 2015
Male Bulldog with no official ID
A male cream and white bulldog was found with no official identification. A cage card on the enclosure housing this dog states "born 5/5/15 bulldog". This date of birth means this dog is at least 6 months of age. Official ID is required for this dog. Failure to provide identification for all dogs make animal tracking difficult, impedes the inspection process, and is especially important in the event of a disease outbreak. Correct this by properly identifying this and all dogs in the kennel. Correct by: November 23, 2015
January 28, 2020 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0492
285 dogs recorded (158 adults · 127 puppies).
Excessively rusty kennel doors
The enclosure doors in the 2 sheltered Raber-type kennels, one by the main building and a second by the large breed dog area, are excessively rusty. There are 6 adult dogs housed in the kennel near the main building and 11 adult dogs housed in the second kennel near the large breed outdoor area. There are a total of at least 10 enclosures with rusty doors. Excessively rusty surfaces prevent required cleaning and sanitization. Correct this by repairing or replacing these surfaces. Correct by: 25 FEB 2020
Sheltered kennel poorly lit
The sheltered housing facility near the large breed dog area was not lighted well enough to permit a routine inspection. The licensee and inspector used flashlights in order to observe the dogs and the facility. The licensee stated that there is a problem with the battery that powers the lights in this facility. Although the dogs do have access to light by going outside using doggy doors, there is not enough uniformly diffused lighting throughout this facility to maintain good housekeeping practices, adequate cleaning, and adequate inspection of animals. Correct this by providing and maintaining sufficient lighting. Correct by: 04 FEB 2020
Excessive feces in outdoor enclosures
There is excessive feces accumulation in the 5 outdoor enclosures housing a total of 14 adult dogs. These enclosures have large stones as substrate and there is feces scattered throughout the enclosures and, in some areas, smashed feces where the dogs have pressed it into the stones from being stepped on. It is obvious by the amount of feces in these enclosures that the licensee is not removing the feces daily. Failure to remove feces often can lead to disease hazards and soiling of the dogs in those enclosures. Correct this by removing feces on a daily basis as required. Correct by: 01 FEB 2020
Rodent feces in kennel washdown
A large accumulation of rodent feces were found in the washdowns of the sheltered kennel near the large breed dog area. There were 11 adult dogs housed in this kennel. Failure to establish and maintain an effective pest control program, which includes monitoring and cleaning up of rodent feces, may result in potential health problems for the dogs. Correct this by establishing an effective and safe pest control program. Correct by: 04 FEB 2020
