The SPCA of Texas will be suspending all intakes and adoptions for two weeks due to an outbreak of the canine distemper virus.
At least two dogs have been infected with CDV, a highly contagious and sometimes fatal virus. There is no cure for distemper infection.The quarantine period will affect adopters, volunteers, and community members due to the closure of the following locations: Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center, Myron K. Martin Spay/Neuter and Veterinary Care Clinic, Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, Ellis County Animal Care Center.
Some SPCA of Texas programs and services will still be active during the quarantine period, such as offsite adoptions of cats and kittens at PetSmart locations and adoptions of foster dogs by appointment only. CDV affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of dogs, ferrets, and other wildlife animals. The virus spreads through respiratory secretions and exposure to bodily waste of wildlife animals. Cats and humans are not at risk of infection from the virus. "This disease is highly preventable when dogs are properly vaccinated," said Dr. Amber Alu, SPCA of Texas Chief Medical Officer.
