The facility rewrote APHIS Form 7005 (Acquisition of Dogs and Cats on Hand), but no longer has the original forms. The rewritten copy of APHIS form 7005 is incomplete and the inspector was unable to acquire the missing information as the original forms are no longer available. Failure to maintain the acquisition information for the required amount of time could interfere with APHIS official’s ability to properly identify and trace animals. No dealer, exhibitor, broker, operator of an auction, carrier, or intermediate handler shall, for a period of 1 year, destroy or dispose of, without the consent in writing of the Administration, any books, records, documents, or other papers required to be kept and maintained. The licensee must maintain all acquisition information for all adult dogs and puppies. The licensee must ensure that all required documents are kept for at least one year after the final disposition of the animal.
