State inspectors have cited the Guilford County Animal Shelter for being out of compliance on a number of issues. The shelter is also being fined over delayed rabies vaccinations.
The violations were outlined in an inspection report filed by the state on September 21st.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports the shelter is being fined $1,200 for failing to vaccinate animals in a timely manner. In two cases, the animals had not been vaccinated at all.
Inspectors also noted the shelter failed to provide continuous access to water, separate dogs and cats being treated with communicable diseases, and properly display updated euthanasia guidelines.
While the report noted improvements since earlier inspections, it concluded that because of the current violations, the shelter still presents “a significant risk to the welfare of the animals.”
The Guilford shelter has 60 days to appeal the fine.
