What inspectors wrote

December 14, 2022 — Routine inspection, USDA 43-A-6452

191 dogs recorded (123 adults · 68 puppies).

  • Miniature Poodles matted coats

    Two adult miniature Poodles (red male, microchip #990000008179747) and (black female, microchip# 900085001245099) have matted hair on their belly, hindquarters, chest and feet. The matted hair is twisted and wet and is trapping wood shavings in the hair.

  • Expired medications in birth house

    There are 2 medications in the cabinet in the whelp house that are expired. A 100 ml bottle of Dexamethasone injectable expired on 6/2022 and a bottle of injectable Vitamin B expired 11/2022. They were stored with other medications that are in use and could also be used.

  • Male Chihuahua puppy nearly nonresponsive (Direct)

    A male Chihuahua puppy (M-261-22, DOB 11/1/2022) was in an enclosure with 2 litter mates and their dam. This puppy was in very poor condition, almost nonresponsive to the littermate trying to play with him. His hair coat was rough and he was about half the size of his littermates. One litter mate tugged on his ear and the owner was instructed to remove the puppy from the enclosure. The licensee was called during the inspection to gather information about any diagnosis and treatment. He stated that he had called the veterinarian a couple days ago and was instructed to give the puppy milk and syrup. This treatment was not effective but the licensee did not contact the veterinarian for further evaluation and a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There was no medical record of the puppy's illness and treatment. The puppy was placed in a separate enclosure with a heat lamp. Failure to correctly communicate issues of abnormal animal health or lack of response to instructed treatment to the attending veterinarian in a timely manner, is not adequate veterinary care. Without adequate veterinary care, an animal’s condition may worsen, and if infectious, can spread to other individuals. Correct by ensuring that animals and conditions are reported to the attending veterinarian so that the animals can be properly examined, diagnosed, and treated. The license must communicate accurately and timely to the veterinarian any problems of animal health, behavior, and well being. CORRECT FROM THIS DAY FORWARD

  • Bedding in unlidded garbage containers

    There were 2 plastic garbage containers filled with shavings for bedding material. The containers did not have lids on them and they could not be found. Bedding material can become contaminated from mice, insects and other pests or become wet and spoiled. When that happens, it will no longer be adequate bedding material for the dogs. To prevent this, all open bags of bedding material must be stored in a leakproof container with a tightly fitting lid. TO BE CORRECTED BY: 16 DECEMBER 2022

116 dogs recorded (74 adults · 42 puppies).

  • Tall weeds around buildings

    Around each of the 3 buildings used for housing dogs, there are numerous tall (at least 20” tall), bushy weeds. There were 2 tall weeds at the edge of the cement pad of the for the outdoor part of the shelter building housing females with litters of puppies. The building next to it had several of the tall bushy weeds next to the drain. The path to the cement building housing small dogs had very tall weeds (at least 6’ tall) on each side of the path and up to the building. There were numerous thick tall weeds on the opposite side of the building from the entrance that touched the wall and were above the level of the bottom of the window. The heavy growth of weeds around the buildings makes it difficult to keep the building and grounds clean and in good repair. It also makes it difficult to reduce or eliminate breeding & living areas of rodents and other pests and vermin. The licensee must remove weeds, grasses and bushes and control their growth so as to facilitate cleaning of the premises and pest control, and to protect the health and well-being of the animals.
