Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) –The Animal Foundation (TAF) announced Wednesday that it will once again be offering dogs for adoption, beginning on Friday.
Adoptions will be limited to those who have been deemed healthy by TAF’s veterinary team. The dogs that will be made available were not exposed to a respiratory illness at the shelter, or they have been cleared from Canine Pneumovirus
The Animal Foundation has removed dogs who are not available from the adoptions page on their website. These dogs haven’t been cleared yet and will continue to be monitored. TAF says that the animals can still be found on the lost and found page in case their families are looking for them.
As of Wednesday, 77 dogs at The Animal Foundation are showing signs of Canine Pneumovirus. No additional dogs outside of one isolated case on September 30 have tested positive for the Strep Zoo. TAF says that all dogs are responding well to treatment and are closely being monitored. No dogs at the shelter have died from Canine Pneumovirus or Strep Zoo.
In response to the virus outbreak, The Animal Foundation has been quarantining affected dogs, and limiting the number of dogs who enter the shelter to prevent the spread of the disease.
