What inspectors wrote
July 25, 2024 — Re-license inspection, USDA 31-A-0793
72 dogs recorded (44 adults · 28 puppies).
- Pomeranian limping not reported to AV (Direct)
The facility did not communicate to the Attending Veterinarian (AV) a serious medical condition in a Pomeranian. A female, tri-colored Pomeranian (#5440) was observed during the inspection to limping intermittently (off and on) on the left front leg, and sometimes holding the leg up. Upon closer inspection, the left front leg felt thickened around the middle of the leg between the wrist and elbow. The applicant stated that approximately 2 weeks prior he noticed the dog limping. The applicant separated the dog from others for about a week and he felt the limping was getting better. The Program of Vet Care does not provide guidelines for limping, and the facility did not call the AV for guidance. A dog that is limping may have suffered an injury and could be experiencing pain or instability of that leg. Dogs at the facility must be observed daily, and then the facility is to have direct and frequent communication with the AV so that matters of the animal’s health and well-being can be conveyed in a timely manner. Correct by contacting the AV and having this dog examined by end of business July 27, 2024.
September 25, 2025 — Routine inspection, USDA 31-A-0793
64 dogs recorded (32 adults · 32 puppies).
- Pomeranian puppies sold under 8 weeks
The facility sold two puppies before the animals were at least 8 weeks or 56 days old. Disposition records showed that two Pomeranian puppies (#3363 and #3378) were sold and ownership transferred on 7/8/2025 with their date of birth being 5/15/25. Puppies transported or sold in commerce before 8 weeks of age may cause additional stress and an increased risk of health problems. No dog shall be delivered by any person to any carrier or intermediate handler for transportation, in commerce, or shall be transported in commerce by any person unless such dog is at least eight (8) weeks of age and has been weaned. Correct by ensuring puppies sold or transported in commerce are at least 8 weeks of age (56 days) and have been weaned. Correct by 7-OCTOBER-2025.

70 dogs recorded (44 adults · 26 puppies).
