There are many challenges with managing an animal shelter, and of course the biggest is managing the animal’s health. Every shelter gets sickness, but acting quick is the key to controlling it. About 3 weeks ago we thought a couple of our dogs were coming down with kennel cough, then we noticed that some had runny noses, then runny eyes – not your typical kennel cough symptoms. Soon almost all the dogs on the adoption side of our kennel had some kind of sickness symptoms, and what was I going to do. So we erred on the sign of caution and quarantined our shelter, and treated the dogs with antibiotics. Happy to say our advisory board veterinarian has given us the all clear, so we are now well though very full. To help move our dogs we are waiving the adoption fee for the next week. If you know anyone that wants a dog or puppy tell them to come by this week!
