27 dogs recorded (16 adults · 11 puppies).

  • Expired vaccine tray

    A tray of Intra-trac3 vaccine was found that expired on 8/232015. Expired drugs may be harmful or ineffective in their intended purpose. Only use medications that are in date to ensure safe proper care and treatment for all dogs.

  • Female Poodle with lumpy nipples

    Poodle with tag # 29 was found with abnormal nipples. The 9 year old female was recently weaned and the breast tissue had receded however the nipples remain abnormally lumpy and slightly discolored.

  • Many dogs with long nails

    Many of the dogs in the kennel have long nails.

  • Feeder cords and top of pens filthy

    The feeders are held to the enclosures with bungee cords. The cords are coated with excessive hair and grime. The cords need to be kept clean. The water line along the top of the enclosures has a significant amount of fly droppings and general accumulated grime. The grime needs to be cleaned and the top of the pens kept clean to ensure the health and well-being of the dogs housed in the facility.

  • Wire floor coating missing

    The outside portion of the enclosures is made from coated wire. The coating is missing from several portions of the panel. The missing coating exposes the wire which is then too narrow to be acceptable for use on the floor of the pen. The exposed wire also easily rusts which reduces its strength. The rusty sections cannot be cleaned and sanitized as necessary. All enclosures must be maintained so the enclosure is safe, strong and sanitizeable.
