Dachshund and Labrador puppies cold
Two enclosures in the sheltered building were observed with below acceptable temperatures. One enclosure housed 2 Dachsund and 7 Labrador Retriever weaned puppies.

Two Dachshunds cold
Two enclosures in the sheltered building were observed with below acceptable temperatures. … Another enclosure housed two adult Dachsunds and was measured at approximately 40 degrees F. … The two cited enclosures did have solid resting surfaces and the enclosure with the puppies did have dry bedding provided; however, the puppies were huddling together in a pile.
Concrete run covered with feces
The exterior portion of the enclosures of the sheltered building and the outdoor gravel runs have not been spot cleaned in at least two days as per the owner's statement. The number of dogs within the enclosures and the lack of cleaning has led to the enclosures, shelters and dogs becoming soiled with feces. A concrete run housing 7 young adult dogs was extremely soiled and covered with feces making it difficult for the dogs to not contact the feces. All enclosures must be spot cleaned at least once daily or more frequently if necessary to prevent soiling of the enclosure or dogs, reduce disease and pest hazards. This affects 50 adult dogs.
