Inside the first sheltered housing building are 14 enclosures affecting a total of 38 adult dogs with excess rust on the metal bar along the bottom of the front of the enclosures. The rusted surface is rough, flaking with several of the metal bar deteriorating causing it to lose its structural strength. On the outside of the "Reefer/Cooler Building" near the dog door in 4 enclosures affecting a total of 25 adult dogs is an excess amount of rust on the wall which does not allow the area to be properly cleaned and sanitized. Rusted surfaces prevent adequate cleaning and sanitization which can play a role in disease transmission. The licensee must maintain all surfaces in housing facilities so that they are free of excessive rust that prevents the required cleaning and sanitization. To be corrected by September 11, 2014.
