3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Enclosures are not being cleaned properly. The walls of approximately 6 sheltered primary enclosures housing approximately 14 adult dogs are soiled with brown material. Additionally, several of the doors leading to the outside runs also are soiled with a brown material. Inadequate and infrequent cleaning and sanitization allows for the growth of disease-causing agents that may increase the risk of health hazards for the animals. Appropriate cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces must include removal of the buildup of material found and to prevent accumulation of this material. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. Correct by ensuring hard surfaces with which the dogs come into contact with are spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (b) of this subpart to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. Correct by 13-APRIL-2026.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility is not following the written Program of Veterinary Care (PVC): -The PVC states to administer Distemper and Parvovirus vaccines yearly for adult dogs. For adult female French Bulldog (#47146), the animal last received the Distemper and Parvovirus vaccines on 1/3/2025. -The PVC states that 10% of litters will be fecal tested each year. Fecal sampling for puppies is not being performed. Failure to administer required vaccines and conduct sampling in accordance with a veterinary approved schedule may result in animals to not be adequately protected against disease and/or can cause pain and distress. Correct by ensuring all animals are vaccinated and sampled in accordance with the schedule approved by the Attending Veterinarian and contact the Attending Veterinarian to review records and create a plan to determine when to administer future vaccinations for the applicable animals. Correct by 13-APRIL-2026.

3.13(b)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility does not maintain complete medical records for all dogs. The facility states that three French Bulldog puppies (#1101, #1102, #1103) received a Parvovirus vaccine at 8 weeks of age but they could not provide documentation. Failure to maintain adequate medical records may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the animals are receiving adequate veterinary care. Complete medical records must be maintained and include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. Correct by documenting all treatments given and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. Correct by 13-APRIL-2026.
