PACC Reopens After Canine Distemper Outbreak

Pima Animal Care Center is back on track after a canine distemper scare that shut down adoptions and intake—thanks to clear test results from their Eastside location. The outbreak likely began with two stray dogs who were already infected despite immediate vaccinations, showcasing how sneaky and deadly this virus can be. With symptoms ranging from sniffles to seizures and a high fatality rate, distemper underscores the critical need for vaccinations—especially when a pet’s history is unknown. PACC is also battling other contagious diseases like parvo and gearing up for the busy Fourth of July season, when lost pets spike. Their top tip? Most missing dogs stay within two miles—start searching close to home. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
