The Animal Care Facility Program currently has 2,100 total licensees (which includes breeding kennels, boarding kennels, shelters, dealers and pet stores). Since 2009, animal health officers have taken steps to investigate allegations of unlicensed facilities through the dedication of field staff and public participation in Operation Bark Alert. The Animal Care Facility Program is staffed by fourteen field staff and two field veterinarians located throughout the state that balance their schedule with routine inspections, investigation of complaints, inquiries into unlicensed facilities and educating licensees and the public on animal husbandry expectations under the animal care program.

Regulatory standards are defined under 2 CSR 30-9.010 through 2 CSR 30-9.030. Animal Care Facility staff meet throughout the year for policy and training sessions to ensure that the regulations are strictly interpreted and fairly and consistently enforced. Operation Bark Alert began in 2009 and is a program which allows the general public to report unlicensed facilities. Operation Bark Alert offers an online link, allowing the public to submit information for investigation by field staff. The program investigates credible reports to ensure compliance under state code. Missouri’s Animal Care Program regulates commercial breeders that enter dogs or cats into commerce. All commercial breeders are licensed and inspected at least once a year by animal care inspectors. The Blue Ribbon Kennel Program contributes to the improvement of kennels that are already in good standing with the state. Kennels with favorable inspection histories are allowed to apply for Blue Ribbon status, provided that they meet the additional requirements.

Continuing education is accessible to all licensees, whether or not they aspire to be a Blue Ribbon Kennel. Blue Ribbon puppies must be permanently identified and originate from these outstanding facilities. Funds for pet spay and neuter programs are also administered through the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Donations from the sale of “I’m Pet Friendly” specialty license plates generate the grant money awarded by a three-member panel appointed by Governor Jay Nixon. Those grants are then distributed to selected agencies for their efforts to help reduce the number of unwanted animals through local and regional spay and neuter initiatives. The Puppy Protection Trust Fund was created to provide Missourians an avenue to donate directly to Canine Cruelty Prevention Act (CCPA) enforcement and education efforts. In 2011, the CCPA created rule enhancements for large-scale dog breeders, including continuous access to water, facility upgrades, space requirements that greatly exceed federal requirements and hands-on veterinary examinations for all adult dogs covered under the Act.
