3.11(a) Cleaning of primary enclosures. There was standing water in the animal area of the sheltered building housing adult dogs. The building is constructed of a metal grated floor with coated wire over the top of it. This leaves approximately a 2 inch space that is used to carry wash down water under each enclosure. The drain at the end of the facility is not functioning properly and the last 5 enclosures of the facility had standing wash down water above the coated wire. This exposes the animals to all of the material and contaminated cleaning water from the rest of the enclosures in the facility. The contaminated water may spread bacteria and disease and does not provide a clean dry environment for the animals to seek shelter from the outdoors. The licensee shall ensure standing water is removed from the primary enclosures and that the animals are protected from being contaminated with water and other wastes during cleaning.
