Chicago Rabies Case Prompts Health Probe and Public Reassurance

A young dog adopted from a Florida rescue, connected to PAWS Chicago, tested positive for rabies and was euthanized; health officials are tracing who may have been exposed, with 13 people advised to receive rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, while Bow Wow Lounge and PAWS Chicago emphasize vaccination and that this rare case does not indicate a broader public risk as investigators determine the virus's origin.
