HUMANE SOCIETY OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA FACEBOOK POST:
“Despite our high standard of care and dedication to a healthy environment, some of our animals have tested positive for distemper and parvovirus. In coordination with Georgia’s Department of Agriculture, we are temporarily closing our shelter to the public to initiate quarantine protocols, treat pets who are sick and stop further spread of illness.
We are very appreciative of your support as we focus on the wellbeing of our animals. If you have sheets, towels, blankets or unused dog or cat toys to donate, we would love to have them! We can also use additional cleaning supplies including bleach and laundry detergent. Please leave any donations in the bin outside our front doors.
Our Healthy Pet Clinic will remain open as patients do not come in contact with our shelter animals.
We are grateful for your understanding and healing thoughts for the animals in our care, and look forward to sharing an update on our shelter reopening with you soon.”
