Despite the temporary pause in dog intakes, Osceola County Animal Services said adoptions are still happening.
“This illness is treatable with medication, and dogs recover faster in a calm, clean home environment — which is why adoption and fostering are so important right now," the shelter wrote on Facebook.
This pause only applies to non-emergency cases.
It’s not known how long the pause will last.
