3.1(c)(3) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* There is a mixture of dirt, grease and other excreta accumulating on the interior metal divider, entryway metal doors and the fiberglass wall board in two enclosures. Four dogs are in contact with the affected surfaces located in shelter housing. The affected area covers approximately 20 to 30 percent of the exterior wall area. Cleaning of surfaces is necessary to prevent an accumulation of excreta and other disease hazards. This indicates an unsanitary living condition exists that could lead to potential disease or health risks. Surfaces which are not cleaned and sanitized properly increase the risk of disease hazards for the dogs. Cleanliness is important to the health and well-being of the animals. All surfaces of housing facilities must be cleaned and sanitized when necessary to satisfy generally accepted husbandry standards and practices. The licensee must ensure that hard surfaces with which the dogs come in contact must be spot cleaned daily and sanitized in accordance with 3.11 (B) of this sub part to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. Correct by 6/6/23.

3.1(f) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
* An accumulation of fecal and other organic material was accumulating on the north outside ground area next to south sheltered building. Ten dogs are in contact with the affected area. Fecal and organic material can attract pests and rodents, become a disease hazard or area of contamination to the animals. Odors, insects, disease hazards, and pest infestation from fecal and organic material accumulations can have an adverse effect on the health and well-being of the animals at this facility. The licensee must have provisions in place for the removal and disposal of animals and food wastes, bedding, dead animals, trash and debris. Correct by 6/15/23.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
* There was no recorded date for annual heartworm testing on 60 dogs. Annual heartworm testing is important for the health of the animals. I did verify with the veterinarian of record and no heartworm tests had been completed. Heartworm testing is done to ensure that there are no active internal parasites. Heartworms are serious parasites that are transmitted by insect bites. The licensee must ensure that all dogs are receiving vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus, and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm) in accordance with a schedule approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by 7/1/23. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n
