Six of the covered outdoor enclosures, housing a total of approximately 26 dogs, have shelters that are too small to contain the number and size of dogs in the enclosure compliantly. Failure to provide shelters large enough to accommodate all the animals does not ensure the dogs have the ability to escape weather extremes which could have a negative impact on their health and well-being. Dogs must be provided with adequate shelter at all times and those structures must be large enough to allow each animal to sit, stand, and lie in a normal manner and to turn about frequently. The licensee must provide the affected enclosures with additional shelters or shelters that are large enough to compliantly contain all the dogs at the same time. The licensee must ensure that all shelters are compliant at all times.
