There is an approximately 3’ x 6’ closet located in the sheltered building were the dams and unweaned puppies are housed. The closet is full of a variety of whelping beds, boxes, bags, buckets, pales, screens, and other unused items to the point you cannot enter the closet much further than the doorway. The closet also has a leaking water pipe near the door with large pile of soaked wood shaving bedding material that has been put down to absorb some of the water. Housing areas must be free of areas that are cluttered or inaccessible and where pests and other vermin could take up residence. Inaccessible areas cannot be cleaned or evaluated for structural problems. This is particularly troublesome when there is a visible problem like a water leak that could be causing further problems in adjacent areas that cannot be evaluated due to the clutter. Housing facilities must be free of any accumulation of trash, waste material, junk, and other discarded materials and be kept neat and free of clutter. The licensee must remove the cluttered items from the closet and ensure the housing facilities remain free of clutter and unused materials at all times. To be corrected by: August 07, 2021
