Approximately seven feeders, located in various enclosures through the facility and affecting approximately 20 dogs, have a brownish buildup of material on the bottom-front edge of the feeder that looks like a combination of powered feed and dirt. In the whelping building, two enclosures with 2 dams and approximately 12 unweaned puppies, have a dry brownish material smeared on some of the vertical surfaces of the whelping boxes which appears to be caused by the dogs jumping up and putting dirty, feces covered paws against the walls. One enclosure had a similar brownish crusty material on the livestock panel across the front of the enclosure and hair was trapped in the crusty material. Two of the outdoor enclosures, containing approximately 15 dogs, have shelters that contained dried and fresh fecal material on the floors and a dry brownish material smeared on the some of the vertical surfaces of walls. The buildup of dirt and fecal contaminated material in enclosures and shelters exposes dogs to bacteria and contaminants that are disease hazards. This is particularly hazardous when the soiled surfaces are in food and water receptacles. Primary enclosures, including the shelters within them, and food and water receptacles, must be sanitized at least once every two weeks and more often if necessary, to prevent an accumulation of dirt, debris, food waste, fecal material, or other disease hazards. The licensee must sanitize all the affected surfaces and ensure all surfaces remain free of a buildup of dirt, grime, waste and hair at all times. To be corrected by: July 23, 2021
