ID tags not on dogs
Official identification has been acquired and assigned to each adult dog, however the identification tags were in storage at the facility and not affixed to each dog.

Rough/sharp wire panel tops
The outdoor runs have cut wire panels that have rough/sharp edges on top that the larger dogs could stand up and touch. 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. ***.
Sagging outdoor floor panel
An outdoor floor panel for two dogs sags 6 inches when they walk on it. Flooring that sags is not structurally sound and could create a condition that injures dogs or allows them to get out. Ensure that this section of floor and all flooring is structurally sound to prevent injury to the dogs. ***.
