Distemper Outbreak Halts PACC Adoptions

Pima Animal Care Center is in crisis as a deadly distemper outbreak sickens eight dogs — one already lost — forcing them to halt all adoptions and restrict intake to only high-risk animals. County officials call it an “extraordinary” but necessary step to stop the virus from spreading to the public and other animals. Dogs are being quarantined, and adopters/fosterers in the last three weeks are urged to watch for symptoms like discharge, lethargy, seizures, or paralysis. If you spot a stray, help by holding them temporarily — this is a community effort to weather the outbreak. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
