These plastic fronts were not secured or in good repair. When the dogs in the enclosure would stand and lean on these solid plastic fronts, they would move forward exposing a gap between where the enclosure divider and front attached. This gap could allow the seven adult dogs to escape and or be injured while escaping. This indicates the facilities are not being kept in good repair. For the security of the dogs and prevention of injury, the facilities must be kept in good repair.

The bottom pipe for the front panels of three enclosures had paint that corroded off exposing bare metal. These metal surfaces were flaking and corroding with excessive rust. These excessively metal rusty surfaces cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized. The corrosion is affecting the structural strength. Therefore, without required cleaning and sanitizing the disease hazards can increase. The metal pipe corroding away can eventually allow the dogs to get injured from possibly escaping. For the prevention of disease hazards from required cleaning and sanitization, and lost integrity of the structural strength for nine adult dogs, all metal surfaces must be kept free of rust.

The particle board back wall for seven enclosures and two plastic dog door inserts, in the Big Dog Kennel, have a buildup of brown grime on their surfaces. These surfaces with a buildup of brown grime indicate that daily spot-cleaning is not taking place. Without daily spot-cleaning and required sanitization the accumulation of waste and disease hazards for the 41 adult dogs and five puppies can increase. For the prevention of an accumulation of waste and increase disease hazards, all surfaces must be spot-cleaned daily.
