No violations recorded (clean inspection).

3.13(a)(2) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
During the inspection it was found that all dogs were up to date on their rabies. However, on record review, it could not be shown that dogs that had three year rabies vaccines had had a complete physical exam since their last rabies vaccine. This was over 12 months previous for many of the dogs in the kennel. Failure to have each dog examined at least once every 12 months can result in delay of diagnosis and treatment for disease, illness, or injury. All dogs must have a complete physical exam done by the attending veterinarian not less than once every 12 months.

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
-During inspection it was reported by the facility representative that the four dogs housed outside were yard dogs. There was a red and white male border collie type dog housed with a golden retriever in one pen and two black and white border collie females in the adjoining pen. The golden retriever was included on that facilities APHIS form 7005 but the other three dogs were not. The facility representative reported that the litter of border collies being weaned in the sheltered facility were the offspring on the red and white male and one of the border collie females. The inspector informed the facility representative that if dogs are intermingled with facility dogs, producing puppies for the facility or intact and on the premises they must be accounted for on the APHIS form 7005 for the facility. -There were APHIS form 7005s filled out for litter of puppies through May of 2024 but records for puppies after May were not available to the inspector. The cage cards for the puppies did not contain all the information that is on the APHIS form 7005 so all puppies should be recorded on an APHIS form 7005. Accurate record keeping is crucial for ensuring a thorough inspection and needed to rapidly identify and trace animals in a potential disease outbreak. Each dealer and/or exhibitor shall make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the information in 2.75(a)(1)(i) through 2.75(a)(1)(ix) for 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 licensee. The licensee must ensure accurate records are created and maintained for all dogs at the facility. Correction Date: September, 13th 2024

3.11(b)(2) (Non-Critical) – Cleaning, sanitization, housekeeping, and pest control.
The water bucket for the two border collies that were housed outside had a coating of green fuzzy slime coating the entire bucket under the waterline. The self-feeder that was being used for the same two border collies had and interior that was coated with black gritty material. Upon inspector request, a fresh water bucket was added to the primary enclosure but the dirty water bucket was not removed. Failure to clean and sanitize as often as necessary does not protect the dogs from exposure to disease hazards. Used primary enclosures and food and water receptacles for dogs and cats must be sanitized at least once every 2 weeks using one of the methods prescribed in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, and more often if necessary to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, excreta, and other disease hazards. To be corrected by: September, 11 2024

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The facility does not currently maintain records of the administration of heartworm preventative medications to adult dogs. The facility representative reported that he uses ivermectin on the puppies but not often on the adults. The program of veterinary care states that heartworm preventative should be given every 30 days. Records of these treatments are needed to facilitate adherence to the program of veterinary care and to minimize risks of parasitism. The facility must follow the Program of veterinary care and create and maintain individual medical records for all dogs.
