In the two small dog buildings the enclosures are framed in wood and there are at least nine enclosures, containing fourteen dogs, which have the sharp ends of screws penetrating through the wood framing and into the dog enclosures. The screws are located in the wood that is framing the top of the enclosures and the dogs could come into contact with the sharp points. Multiple sharp points are located in at least three outdoor enclosures, containing four Golden retrievers. The sharp points are found at the level of the dogs and are created by the ends of wires that are used to attach buckets and feeders to the fence and along some of the enclosure fence panels. Sharp points can cause injury to the dogs. Housing facilities for dogs must be free of sharp points and jagged edges that could injure the animals. The licensee must remove the sharp points from the dog enclosures in order to eliminate the injury risk towards the dogs. The licensee must ensure that all housing facilities remain safe for the dogs at all times. Correction date: June 28, 2016
