3.6(c)(1)(i) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
Three adult dogs are housed in an enclosure that provides 9.53 square feet of floor space. Measurements of the 3 dogs revealed that they require a minimum floor space of 14.09 square feet when housed together. Enclosures that do not provided minimum floor space could have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the animals. Each dog housed in a primary enclosure must be provided a minimum amount of flor space. The licensee must ensure that each dog is provided with the minimum amount of required floor space in order to support their health and well-being. To be corrected by: From this day forward all dogs must be housed in enclosures providing at least the minimum amount of floor space.

3.11(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
In the 2 adult rooms, housing at least 140 dogs, the metal feeders are only sanitized approximately once a month and the surfaces of the enclosures are not sanitized every two weeks. Failure to properly sanitize surfaces could increase the risk of disease towards the dogs. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. The licensee must ensure all surfaces within the enclosure including the self-feeders are sanitized at least once every two weeks in order to protect the health and well-being of the dogs.
