- Beagles without adequate shade
There are 4 outdoor enclosures that do not have adequate shade for the dogs enclosed in these enclosures. The first 3 enclosures from the north end have no shade at the time of the inspection, and the sixth enclosure does not have sufficient shade for the 6 Beagles. The shade cloth on the front of the enclosure provides shade for 3 of the dogs. Temperatures at this time of year are in the high 90s and is very sunny. Shade is important to protect the dogs from the direct rays of the sun and provide a cooler area to be in. One or more separate outside areas of shade must be provided, large enough to contain all the animals at one time and protect them from the direct rays of the sun. The licensee must provide and maintain shade for each of the enclosed animals in the outdoor enclosures at all times. To be corrected by: 1 July 2023
