45 dogs recorded (28 adults · 17 puppies).
Animal numbers on Form 7005's versus those counted during the inspection were significantly different. 28 adult dogs were counted on hand during the inspection with 32 listed on the Form 7005's. Additionally, 3 foxhounds were not listed on the on hand record Form 7005's but were counted during the inspection. The Form 7005's for puppies also had at least 53 puppies listed as being born and added to the Forms but have no disposition dates recorded. Failure to maintain accurate records impedes in the inspection process and makes animal tracking difficult to impossible. It is especially important to have current, complete and accurate records in the event of a disease outbreak. Correct this by maintaining complete and accurate records. Correct from this day forward
Seven large breed dogs (Dobermans, hounds) are being housed outdoors with 55 gallon plastic barrels as their shelters. The primary enclosures for these dogs are under a roof and there is a solid fence around the chain link enclosures. The roof and walls does give the dogs some protection from rain and wind. These barrels, however, are not large enough for these dogs to sit, stand, and lie in a normal manner or to turn about freely. During inclement weather, these dogs may not be able to stay warm and dry enough to maintain their health. Correct this by providing these dogs shelters with adequate space. Correct by: 24 July 2015
A search for unlicensed regulated activity was conducted. The facility representative contacted stated that sales of animals via wholesale and via shipment (sight unseen) were being conducted occasionally. This is activity for which a USDA license is required. Conducting regulated activity without a license does not allow the regulatory process, including routine inspection, to ensure the welfare standards are being met for those animals. This is not in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act. Correct by either applying for a USDA "A" license to conduct regulated sales via wholesale and sight unseen transactions, or cease to conduct these types of sales without a USDA license.
64 dogs recorded (29 adults · 35 puppies).
A female Rottweiler with five puppies is being kept in an enclosure in the barn. The licensee ran out of space for the dog and his only option was to house the dog in the barn. The enclosure has concrete walls and flooring. The concrete has not been sealed and is therefore not impervious to moisture. Surfaces that are not impervious to moisture does not allow for it to be properly sanitized. The concrete surface areas must be fixed so they are impervious to moisture. Correct by 10/4/19.
57 dogs recorded (30 adults · 27 puppies).
The licensee followed the vets corrective measures but they did not document some of them. The licensee corrected this issue during the inspection. Corrected on: 6/24/2025
