  • Rough/sharp wire panel tops

The facility has materials to cover these and has covered one side, however still needs to cover the rest of the panel tops for 6 dogs. Ensure that the remaining tops are covered to prevent areas that can injure the dogs. ***.

  • Dogs missing ID tags

    At least four dogs were observed not to have identification tags assigned to them. Official identification is required and can be important to keep track of each dog's health information. Ensure that each adult dog is assigned an identification tag that is affixed to the animal's neck by means of a collar made of material generally considered acceptable to pet owners as a means of identifying their pet dogs or cat. ***.

  • Dog inventory records not up to date

    Ten new dogs acquired in the facility were not recorded on APHIS 7005. The licensee had the address from where dogs were acquired available but all adult dogs must be recorded with complete information on APHIS 7005. An up to date inventory of dogs on hand (APHIS 7005) is required and can be important for animal health tracking. Ensure that APHIS 7005 is kept up to date to maintain the required information for dogs on hand. ***.

  • Flapper doors not well secured

    Three enclosures have flapper doors to go outside but the outdoor runs have not been built yet. The flapper doors are not well secured; some boards are wedged against them but the boards are getting old and could also get knocked over which could then allow the dogs to get out of their primary enclosure. Ensure that these flapper doors are well-secured to prevent the dogs from getting out unattended. ***.
