(1) Application For License and Conditions of Issuing.
(A) Any person or organization operating an animal shelter, boarding kennel, commercial kennel, contract kennel, pet shop, pound or dog pound, or acting as a dealer, commercial breeder, intermediate handler or exhibitor in Missouri, must have a valid license issued by the director in accordance with the Animal Care Facilities Act (ACFA).
(B) Any person seeking a license under the provisions of the ACFA shall apply on a form furnished by the director. An individual must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to be issued a valid license. The applicant shall provide all information requested on the application form, including a valid mailing address through which the licensee or applicant can always be reached, and a valid premises address where animals, animal facilities, equipment and records shall be inspected for compliance. All premises, facilities or sites where a person operates, has an interest in or keeps animals shall be shown on the application form or on a separate sheet attached to it. The applicant shall file the completed application form with the director. Applications must be accompanied with the appropriate fee as required in section (2) of this rule.
(C) An applicant shall obtain a separate license for each separate physical facility requiring a license according to the ACFA.
(D) The following persons are exempt from the licensing fees and inspection requirements:
1. Persons engaged in breeding dogs and cats who harbor three (3) or less intact females; and
2. Registered hobby and show breeders.
(E) The following facilities are exempt from the licensing fees but must meet all other standards in 2 CSR 30-9, and will be inspected at least annually:
1. Animal shelters; and
2. Pounds or dog pounds.
(F) Any person exempt from the licensing requirements may voluntarily apply for a license, but shall agree in writing to comply with the requirements set forth in the specifications for humane handling, care, treatment and transportation of dogs and cats. Each person shall comply with all rules and standards of the ACFA. A voluntary license may be surrendered at any time the licensee so desires.
(G) A license shall be issued to any applicant, who has met the requirements of the ACFA, has paid the required annual license fee and the provisional license fee (if required) and has passed the initial or annual inspection.
(H) The director may refuse to issue or renew or may revoke or suspend a license on any one (1) or more of the following grounds:
1. Material and deliberate misstatement on the application for any original license or for any renewal license;
2. Conviction of any violation of any state or federal law on the disposition or treatment of animals;

(I) An applicant whose check is returned by the bank will be charged a fee of fifteen dollars ($15) for each returned check. One (1) returned check will be deemed nonpayment of fees and will result in denial of license. Payment of fees must then be made by certified check, cashier's check or money order. An applicant shall not receive a license until payment has cleared normal banking procedures. A delay of up to thirty (30) days or more may be expected if a personal check is used for payment of fees.

(L) All licensees or applicants for a license or license renewal must make his/her facilities, animals, premises and records available for inspection during business hours or at other times mutually agreeable, in writing, to the applicant and the animal welfare official designated by the state veterinarian. The licensee or applicant shall also provide the inspector with sufficient space and facilities, such as a room, a table and a chair to use in examining records and writing his/her report. If the licensee's or applicant's facilities, animals, premises, procedures or records do not meet the requirements in 2 CSR 30-9, the applicant will be advised in writing of existing deficiencies and the corrective measures that must be completed in a timely manner to be in compliance with the standards in 2 CSR 30-9. Persons or facilities which subsequently fail two (2) consecutive reinspections for an original violation shall be charged a fee of one hundred dollars ($100), which shall be paid before subsequent inspections will be made or the renewal of that person's or facility's license.
(M) A licensee or applicant for a license shall not interfere with, threaten, abuse (including verbal abuse) or harass any inspector, state or federal official while carrying out his/her duties.

Do I need a kennel license to run a dog boarding business in Kansas?
A kennel license is required if you business exceeds a certain number of dogs. Once you business begins boarding 4 or more dogs you will be required to obtain a license.
What do you call horse's shelter?
A horses shelter can be called a barn, stable, stall, shed or run-in shed. The shed and run-in shed are basically the same thing, a three-sided structure that is typically open on the front and may or may not be divided into stalls. Stalls (also called stables in some parts of the world) are enclosures you find inside a stable or barn. Stables are essentially a barn used to house only horses or other equines. Barns are general animal housing on farms.
Why do people put animals to sleep if they dont get adopted?
There are a few reasons animals must be euthanized if they do not get adopted. The primary reason is lack of space. In a shelter that does not turn animals away, this is a very common problem. In most places stray animals must be held a specific number of days before they can either be put into the adoption program or be euthanized. This gives the real owner the opportunity to find and reclaim the animal. During the holding period for the stray animal there are still other animals coming into the shelter. If those animals are healthy and adoptable, they need a space to live until they are adopted, go to rescue, or can find a foster home. Animals that come to the shelter that are sick or mentally unstable, will be euthanized immediately if it is determined that the animal cannot be helped. In some cases dogs that have been in shelter for a long period of time will develop "kennel stress." A dog with kennel stress begins to show behaviors that are not typical for that particular dog. Some of the symptoms include: hyperactivity, increased barking, depression, anxiety, and sometimes aggression. The shelter staff can try to control the severity of the kennel stress by moving the dog to a different kennel or different room for a change of scenery. It also helps if the dog can be moved to a quieter area of the shelter. Increased exercise will help the dog as well as taking the dog to an event such as an adoption day or obedience classes. If the dog does not get adopted, sent to rescue, or put into a foster home, it will eventually become so mentally unstable that it will have to be euthanized. The best ways to prevent euthanization of adoptable animals is to adopt an animal from a shelter, be a foster parent, be a responsible owner by not allowing your animal run loose, and do not get an animal unless you are sure you will be able to keep it for his entire natural life. All dogs and cats should be microchipped. This will allow a shelter to find the animal's owner very quickly if it becomes lost. Collars and tags are good but can be lost or stolen. Another way to decrease the number of animals entering animals shelters each year is to have your animal spayed or neutered.
Where could one use galvanized dog run?
One could use a galvanized dog run in outdoor settings such as a backyard, dog park, or animal shelter. The galvanized coating on the dog run provides protection against rust and corrosion, making it durable and suitable for outdoor use. It also ensures the safety and containment of dogs within the designated area.
