Wake County Animal Center Reopens for Pet Adoptions Following Dog Flu Outbreak

The Wake County Animal Center in North Carolina will resume pet adoptions on Monday after an eight-week closure due to a dog-flu outbreak. Adoptions will be by appointment only, with cats available for adoption starting Monday and dogs available starting Wednesday. The center had been closed to contain the virus and prevent further illness or deaths. Owner surrenders will remain suspended for now, and the center urges responsible pet ownership and proper vaccinations to prioritize pet safety.
