In the western most animal room of the newly occupied indoor building there are two double stack rows of raised wire enclosures. The indoor housing room is a high moisture environment. The first two enclosures on the lower western side of the room contain a total of four adult dogs. Above these enclosures is a hot electrical wire connected to a light bulb fixture. The electrical wire and light fixture are attached to the underside of the wash down for the upper enclosures. The wire and light fixture are not properly or safely installed. The electrical wire is hanging above the enclosures and there are breaks in it's external yellow coating. With the room being a high moisture area the all wires and light fixtures must be properly and safely installed to protect all of the contained animals from injury and prevent any type of health hazard.

The kennel animals have been moved from the previous trailers to one indoor housing building. The building is divided into three rooms. Two rooms are animal housing areas which contain two double rows of enclosures along two walls. The enclosures in the building are constructed of coated wire and in some cases wooden materials. In the western room there are three raised wire enclosures containing a total of six adults which have broken and or protruding wires in the enclosures. The broken wires must be repaired or removed to protect the contained animals from injury and to protect their health and welfare. Affects six adults.

The newly occupied indoor housing building is divided into three parts. In the food storage room there is an accumulation of dirt, debris and personal items such as egg cartons, a cross bow, old self feeders and used syringes. On the exterior of the building there are accumulations of trash such as paper, plastic, empty gas cans, soda bottles and metal. Premises where housing facilities are located, including buildings and surrounding grounds, must be kept clean and in good repair to protect the animals from injury, to facilitate the husbandry practices, and to reduce or eliminate breeding and living areas for rodents and other pests and vermin. Premises must be kept free of accumulations of trash, junk, waste products, and discarded matter. Affects one hundred forty-three adults and thirty-five puppies. The inspection and exit briefing was conducted with the facility representatives. Additional Inspectors Cooper Natalie, Veterinary Medical Officer
