Construction ***The facility has outdoor enclosures with wood floors and shelters, not impervious to moisture. The wood floors and dog shelters had water and urine soaking into the wood. There were 11 outdoor enclosures with 27 dogs that had wood plank floors and dog shelters that were constructed with wood on the inside in contact with the dogs. Three of the shelters in the enclosures had wood slatted floors with gaps between the boards, preventing proper cleaning and sanitization. These wood surfaces are not impervious to moisture, and cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized. Licensee stated the wood was treated last spring. The licensee must ensure all surfaces in contact with animals are impervious to moisture and readily cleaned and sanitized. The licensee must ensure all surfaces must be maintained on a regular basis.
