January 23, 2024 — Routine inspection, USDA 72-A-0194
63 dogs recorded (32 adults · 31 puppies).
- 63 dogs, over licensed limit
The animal inventory at the time of inspection was 32 adult dogs and 31 puppies (a total of 63 dogs). This number exceeds the maximum number of 50 animals allowed under the current license. The USDA license authorizes a specific number of animals to ensure that the facility and personnel possess adequate facilities, employees and education to provide sufficient husbandry to the regulated animals. A licensee must obtain a new license before any ch ange resulting in more than the authorized number of animals on hand at any single point in time during the period of licensure. The licensee must reapply for a license that properly reflects the number of regulated animals under the license or reduce the number of regulated animals to a number which is under the maximum threshold authorized under the current license. Correct by January 30, 2024.
- Missing APHIS Form 7006 records
Disposition records for dogs are not being made, kept, and maint ained on the APHIS Form 7006 Record of Disposition of Dogs and Cats. Use of APHIS Form 7006 allows for complete and accurate identification as well as tracking of animals being used in regulated activities. Each dealer and exhibitor shall utilize the APHIS Form 7006 Record of Disposition of Dogs and Cats to make, keep, and maintain disposition information or request a variance if using a computerized record keeping system that makes use of APHIS Form 7006 unsuitable. Correct by January 30, 2024.
- Shelter boxes with exposed bare wood
Several of the sheltered enclosures in dog kennels 1 and 2 have surfaces which have become worn or chewed such that bare wood is now exposed. These surfaces which can be in direct contact with the dogs are no longer im pervious to moisture, can no longer be readily cleaned and sanitized, and thus could harbor agents such as bacteria which can be harmful to the health of the dogs. Ensure that all walls, boxes, houses, dens, and other surfaces in contact with the dogs and their litters are impervious to moisture. Correct by February 20, 2024.
