3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The Program of Veterinary Care (PVC) did not have sampling directions for heartworm and for internal parasites. The treatment plan for internal parasites was incomplete for adults and puppies. Incomplete directions on the PVC can result in a miscommunication between the attending veterinarian and the licensee resulting in inappropriate care of the animals. The licensee must have an appropriate and complete Program of Veterinary Care that is developed, documented in writing, and signed by the attending veterinarian. This is a 1st Relicense Inspection for a Class “A” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the Applicant. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspections by February 08, 2022, or the Applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Relicense Inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires. End Section

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
There are 19 dogs observed in the kennel but the APHIS 7005 lists only 10 dogs. The nine dogs not listed on the APHIS 7005 are juvenile puppies (approximately 6 months of age). The licensee stated that they will be sold soon so did not add them to the inventory. Records of all the dogs must be made and maintained with accurate information so their identity can be known with certainty, and to be able to track the dogs that are purchased, transported, traded, sold, or leave by other methods and for accurate health care documentation. Each dealer shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the following information concerning each dog purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, euthanized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer. The records shall include any offspring born of any animal while in his or her possession or under his or her control. The APHIS 7005 must be correctly completed and maintained. To be corrected by 6 March 2026

2.134(b) (Non-Critical) – Contingency planning.
The contingency plan was last signed 9/24/2022. The licensee stated that nothing has changed so why look at it. An annual review of the plan allows for making changes based on personnel, equipment and number of dogs. The plan must be reviewed by the dealer on at least an annual basis to ensure that it adequately addresses the criteria listed in paragraph (a) of this section. Each licensee and registrant must maintain documentation of their annual reviews. The licensee must review and document that review of the contingency plan. To be corrected by 6 March 2026

3.1(e) (Non-Critical) – Housing facilities, general.
Inside the building part of the shelter housing facility, there was a newly opened bag of dog food on the floor. Open bags of food can attract pests and insects that can contaminate the food, decreasing the palatability and nutritional value. All open supplies of food must be kept in leakproof containers with tightly fitting lids to prevent contamination and spoilage. The licensee must place any and all open bags of food in a leakproof container with a tightly fitting lid at all times. To be corrected by 6 March 2026 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with a facility representative. n
