Fred R Hodgins Kennel

USDA APHIS officers inspected Hodgins Kennels eight times between November 1993 and November 1994 and cited it for numerous Animal Welfare Act violations related to failure to provide animals with medical care, recordkeeping, and unsanitary and unsafe animal housing, among others. In 1996, an administrative law judge fined Hodgins for $16,000 and issued a cease and desist order for 61 Animal Welfare Act violations.



Despite Hodgins Kennels’ consistent pattern of AWA violations, between 2005 and 2007, Hodgins Kennels sold 1,882 live animals and 1,659 frozen cats and dogs.
