• Holes in indoor dog walls

  Several of the walls in the indoor dog areas are in a state of disrepair. In the medium sized room, housing seven dogs, there is a large hole, approximately 8" x 12", in the wall adjacent to the whelping area. On the other side of the whelping area, there are two additional holes in the wall which are approximately 3"x 2" and 5"x2" in size. In the large dog room, housing five dogs, there is an area of dry wall, to the left of the main door, that is damaged and has exposed untreated wood. Lastly, in the small dog room, housing five dogs, there is a hole, approximately 2"x1", in the dry wall in the right corner behind the dog bed.

• Rust on metal in dog rooms

  There are several areas of rust in the dog rooms. In the medium sized room, there is a dog bed with large metal clamps used to secure a blanket which are completely covered in rust. Near the entrance to this room, the bottoms of the white gates are rusted and have started to flake. In the large dog room, the bottom of the main door is deteriorating due to rust and appears pitted. In the small dog enclosure, there is an additional dog bed with rusted metal clamps. Surfaces within dog enclosures that have excessive amounts of rust can affect the structural integrity of the enclosure and make it difficult to properly clean which could lead to injury or disease conditions in the dogs. Interior surfaces and any surfaces that come in contact with dogs or cats must be free of excessive rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitization or that affects the structural strength of the surface. Correct by removing, repairing, or replacing the rusted surfaces in the dog areas. Correct by: October 23, 2025.

• No parasite sampling schedule
