Shelter Pauses Dog Intakes Due to Parvo | Jefferson City News

Central Missouri Humane Society has paused new dog intakes after discovering a parvovirus case—this serious, contagious illness affects dogs with symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea but doesn’t infect humans. To protect existing animals, the shelter is temporarily closing its doors to new arrivals while ramping up containment efforts. They’re still available for emergencies and asking the public to help: if you find a stray, try locating its owner first via social media or neighborhood groups—most lost dogs are found nearby. The shelter will scan found dogs for microchips and offer basic supplies if you can hold onto them briefly, helping reduce virus spread and freeing up resources for critical cases. Normal operations should resume by September 17th, barring new outbreaks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
