The Junction City Animal Shelter currently has 2-3 dogs showing some slight symptoms of Kennel Cough. Due to this, Officials said that they re halting all dogs showings, meet and greets, adoptions, fosters, and volunteers walking dogs.. While this can be frustrating for you as well as employees, safety and precaution comes FIRST!
As an animal shelter, they see several animals that come in with an unknown medical history. While they would like to have an isolation unit, but they just don't have the resources at this time. The shelter consistently overflowing does not help these cases from arising due to lack of space and stress on our dogs due to this. If your dog comes in as a stray, please note that they have the potential to be exposed.
They will provide all of the information we can to owners as this occurs. PLEASE make sure you are opting for the Bordetella Vaccine and practicing healthy habits with your canine! Due to these symptoms here, they will also be present in the community. Speak to your veterinarian on how you can remain vigilant with your dogs!
