"Urgent Need: Austin Animal Center Seeks Fosters for Distemper Dogs Amidst Outbreak"

The Austin Animal Center (AAC) has reported an increase in distemper cases, with 39 positive results out of 94 dogs tested. The disease primarily affects unvaccinated dogs, particularly those under a year old who haven't had time to build up immunity. Symptoms range from none to seizures. AAC is working with experts to provide treatment and slow the spread of the disease. Earlier this month, AAC asked for help in moving healthy dogs out of the shelter due to the rise in cases. Distemper is caused by the canine distemper virus (CDV) and can spread through close contact with infected animals. AAC is urging dog owners to ensure their pets are vaccinated. The center is seeking fosters and adopters for healthy, vaccinated dogs, and all adoption fees are waived. AAC will also participate in the Clear the Shelters adoption promotion.

Distemper Outbreak Claims Lives of 25 Dogs at Cincinnati Animal Shelter

Cincinnati Animal CARE has restricted all dog intakes until further notice due to multiple confirmed cases of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), which has already led to the deaths of 25 dogs. The shelter is working with an expert on CDV to manage the outbreak and is emphasizing the need for community sheltering of dogs in the region. CDV mostly affects unvaccinated dogs and puppies, and the shelter is urging pet owners to vaccinate their pets. The outbreak is uncommon in the region, and it's still unclear where it originated. The shelter is accepting donations to help make the quarantine more bearable for the dogs.
