The kennel building was a metal structure with indoor/outdoor dog runs on the east and west sides. There were about 10 runs per side. The outdoor runs on the west were elevated with slatted floorings, while the eastern runs had concrete floorings on the ground. Runs were about eight feet long and four feet wide, with galvanized wire walls that were rusting at the top (3.1 – Housing facilities, general (c) Surfaces (1)(i). A roof covered the outdoor pens, as well as a walkway that was about three feet wide and extended around the east, west, and north sides of the building. The western end of walkway accessed a ramp into a fenced yard.
