2.40(b)(2) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
Lynn’s Hope (id#900217000512060,) a female Havanese-Poodle mix dog with 2 puppies (DOB 1/21/24) is very thin. Her spine, ribs, shoulder blades, hips are easily felt. There is an abdominal tuck. The owner stated that she was giving the dog milk replacer but has not consulted with a veterinarian about the dog’s condition. Significant weight loss or thin body condition can indicate an underlying medical condition such as stress, illness, parasites and/or poor quality of food. This dog’s abnormal body condition could also negatively affect the growth and health of her puppies. The dog must be examined by a veterinarian for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Lynn’s Heidi (id# 900217000511467) a female Havanese-Poodle mix dog had scabby bumps on her neck, back, hips and ears. The skin was very red on her throat and chest. The owner had bathed her several days ago but the redness and sores can indicate that there is an underlying condition that the shampoo is not helping. Improperly or untreated skin conditions can worsen and cause more irritation and potentially become infected. This dog needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Documentation of diagnoses and treatments must be made available to APHIS officials. The applicant must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times. Correction date: 22 February 2024

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
The current APHIS 7005 Record of Acquisition of Dogs and Cats on Hand form lists 68 dogs but the actual count of dogs above 16 weeks of age is 88. Without proper and accurate records of all the dogs, their identity is not known with certainty, and any dog born, purchased, traded, sold or that leaves by other methods cannot be tracked the dogs accurately. The APHIS 7005 must be updated to reflect the number of dogs in the facility. It must include all required information for this section and be maintained at all times

3.1(c)(1)(i) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
There are 9 stacked cages made of metal bars that have an excessive amount of rust on the vertical and horizontal bars. Rusty surfaces cannot be sanitized due to pitting and rough surfaces and can cause weakness in the structural strength of the metal. Interior surfaces and any surfaces that come in contact with dogs must be free of excessive rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitization, or that affects the structural strength of the surface. The rusty surfaces must be repaired or replaced and maintained at all times.

3.3(e)(1) (Non-Critical) – Sheltered housing facilities.
Cement blocks are used as a step into the inside part of the shelter building. The cement blocks have moisture seeping up their surfaces from the recent washing of the concrete floor on the outside part. There are wooden posts at the end of each run that have green algae on the lower part of the posts and have moisture on that area also from the recent washing of the runs. These areas indicate that the wood and cement surfaces are not impervious to moisture. When not impervious to moisture, the surfaces cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized and may become a source of bacteria, viruses, mold that may cause illness. These surfaces must be impervious to moisture and maintained at all times.

3.8 (Non-Critical) – Exercise for dogs.
The exercise plan was not available for review by the inspector. The licensee did not know where it was. A plan to offer dogs an opportunity for exercise is important for the physical and mental health of the dogs. Dealers must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise. The licensee must develop the exercise plan and have the veterinarian approve and sign it and it must be maintained and available to APHIS officials upon request. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class “A” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. Correct all directs by the date listed above or prior to the next scheduled re-license inspection, whichever comes first. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspection(s) or by April 22, 2024 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. An unannounced inspection to reinspect for the direct(s) may be conducted prior to your next licensing inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires. Conducting regulated activity without a valid USDA license is a violation of the Animal Welfare Act. n

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
There were 7 weaned pups from 2 litters in an enclosure that had multiple scabs and large areas of flakey skin on their head, neck and body. The representative stated that it had been observed about 3 days prior to this day and the pups had been shaved and given baths with Adams medicated shampoo. The puppies also appeared slightly thin, which can be an indication of inadequate nutrition or parasites; however, the pups were active and eating and curious. A veterinarian had not been contacted for diagnosis and treatment for these conditions, which is important to prevent any worsening of the conditions. A veterinarian must be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment for these puppies’ conditions. Treatment recommendations by the veterinarian must be followed at all times. The licensee must keep and maintain medical records, as required, and they must be made available to APHIS officials. Correction date: June 3, 2024 Note: The dogs were examined by a veterinarian on May 31 and a treatment plan was developed, and medication was dispensed.

2.126(b) (Non-Critical) – Access and inspection of records and property; submission of itineraries.
A responsible adult was not available to accompany APHIS Officials during the inspection process at 8:15am on 22 April 2025. The inspector spoke with the owner as she was leaving. She could not stay and no one else was available to do the inspection. Failure to provide access to the facility, animals, and records for inspection is a serious violation of the AWA and regulations. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action. End Section

2.40(b)(2) (Non-Critical [REPEAT]) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
During the inspection one adult dog was found with an untreated ear condition consistent with an ear infection. King, an approximately 7-year-old male King Charles Cavalier (M/C#933000320032781) was observed with a slight head tilt to the left, a scab on the outside and behind the left ear. On closer observation, the area around the scab was red and had dried brown discharge. The inside of the left ear appeared red, moist and inflamed with thick yellow creamy discharge. Poor ear health can cause pain and discomfort on the dog and have a negative impact on the animal’s wellbeing. This dog must be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and to develop an effective treatment plan. Each dealer must follow an appropriate program of veterinary care for dogs that includes preventive care and treatment to ensure healthy ears for all dogs.

2.40(b)(2) (Direct [REPEAT]) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
The molar teeth on both left and right side of Huckleberry, a male Pembroke Welsh Corgi (m/c# 990000001075706) were encased in a hard white-gray material. It was difficult to tell one tooth from the other on the upper right. The gum line above the top teeth and below the bottom teeth was dark red and swollen. This condition had been noted as “dt” , indicating that a dental treatment was recommended, on the veterinarian’s hands on exam in November of 2024, but not provided with treatment. Huckleberry was taken to the veterinarian that afternoon as there was an appointment for other dogs to be treated for dental conditions. The molars on KCK Dawn, a female Pembroke Welsh Corgi (m/c# 990000006127814) were heavily coated in an excessive accumulation of tartar. The gumline was very red and swollen around the molars and premolars. This condition had been noted as “dt” , indicating that a dental treatment was recommended, on the veterinarian’s hands on exam in November of 2024, but not provided with treatment. An appointment was made for KCK Dawn with the veterinarian for dental treatment. Dental and gum disease can be painful, affect the dog’s ability to eat, and lead to tooth loss. Chronic dental and gum disease can also result in damage to other vital organs such as the kidneys and the heart. An effective program for dental maintenance must be put in place and maintained to ensure the health of the dogs. The licensee must contact a veterinarian to have these dental problems assessed and treated and maintain the medical records for the inspector to review.

3.3(a) (Direct) – Sheltered housing facilities.
Inside the shelter part of the shelter building the dogs were observed to be panting heavily with mouths wide open and skin on the face stretched back tightly. The 2 youngest puppies (approximately 6-7 weeks old were somewhat lethargic but did rouse when coaxed with kissing sounds. The temperature reading from the Kestrel was 92.6F degrees and the added humidity made the heat index 109.6F degrees. There were 2 fans in the front room that were heavy coated with dirt and debris. The facility representative stated that the air conditioner had not been working for “a while”. The ambient temperature for the past week have been 92-99F degrees. The inspector returned to measure the temperature after 4 hours. The licensee at that time arrived with new air conditioners for the inside part of the kennel building. While the equipment was being set up, the inside ambient temperature was measured at 89.4F degrees, using the Kestrel. The dogs, including the young puppies were more active and not panting as heavily. Exposure to extreme temperature and humidity can cause discomfort, stress, illness and even death to the animals. The licensee must ensure that the ambient temperature must not rise above 85 °F (29.5 °C) for more than 4 consecutive hours when dogs are present. Correction date: 19 August 2025 by mid-day NOTE: air conditioners were purchased and installed by 8:00 pm on 18 Aug 2025

3.9(b) (Non-Critical) – Feeding
A red plastic self-feeder was observed to be full but little dry dog food was in the tray and didn’t readily fall into the tray when the feeder was tapped. The feeder was removed and food removed. The tray area was heavily coated with grime and caked food that had mold in it. Food residue and organic material buildup can harbor microorganisms that can result in disease and health problems in dogs. If self-feeders are used, they must be kept clean and must be sanitized in accordance with § 3.11(b) of this subpart. Measures must be taken to ensure that there is no molding, deterioration, and caking of feed. The licensee must ensure that food receptacles are kept cleaned and sanitized. Correction date: 19 Aug 2025 NOTE: a different feeder was placed in the enclosure during the inspection This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. n

2.40(b)(2) (Direct [REPEAT]) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Lynn’s GIngersnap, m/c # 900217000511808) was very thin. The backbone was easily seen and palpated. The ribs, shoulders and hips were also easily palpated. This dog is nursing three 4 week old puppies. The dog has been dewormed and is being fed puppy food, however, she is still very thin. Thin body condition can be the result of parasites, inadequate nutrition, or an underlying medical condition. This dog must be evaluated by a veterinarian within 3 days of this inspection, to know with certainty the problem and the correct treatment. Documentation of the evaluation, recommended treatment and delivered treatments must be available to APHIS officials. Each dealer or exhibitor shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries. The owner must develop a better method to identify and prevent weight loss in nursing females. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with a facility representative. End Section

3.1(a) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Inside the 2nd outdoor chain link enclosure from the west a smaller gauge wire panel was placed over the chain link separating the enclosures at the level of the enclosed Corgi dog. This smaller gauge wire was torn and bent creating multiple sharp points into the enclosure at the bottom part of the panel putting the damaged area at approximately the level of the Corgi’s head. Sharp points create a potential hazard for injury. In the shelter building, the floors of the inside part are made of plastic grating. Two of the enclosures have damaged floors that could result in entrapment or injury. One enclosure containing a single female Corgi has a large hole (approximately 2″ x 6″) by the dog door. The other floor (enclosing 2 dogs) has several large breaks in the center of the floor supported by a cement block placed under the floor. The licensee must maintain flooring and other surfaces to prevent injury or entrapment of the enclosed dogs. To be corrected by: 20 January 2026 The damaged wire was repaired at the time of inspection.

3.10(c) (Non-Critical) – Watering
In an outdoor enclosure with 1 adult Poodle dog, the bottom of a black water receptacle was covered with a layer of green algae-like material. This algae-like material may be harmful to the dog and indicates that the receptacle has not been kept clean and sanitized. The licensee must clean and sanitize and maintain the water receptacles for the health and well being of the dogs. Corrected during the inspection

3.11(d) (Non-Critical) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
Inside the entry where the unopened bags of dog food are stacked, there was a large amount of rodent feces on the floor and pallet around the food. There were 3 plastic carriers stacked next to the dog food which also had rodent feces along the edges and inside the carriers. A “sticky trap” and small bag of rodent bait were on the floor between the wall and pallet but the large amount of rodent feces indicate that the current pest control plan is ineffective. Rodents carry diseases that can affect the dogs and contaminate the food. The licensee must establish an effective program for the control of insects, external parasites affecting dogs, and animals that are pests, and maintained so as to promote the health and well-being of the animals and reduce contamination by pests in animal areas. To be corrected by: 16 January 2026

3.13(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
