The Gainesville-based Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) continues to grapple with an outbreak of disease that has taken the lives of at least 14 animals so far. Five days ago, officials announced that it would be closed to the public because some of their animals had tested positive for distemper and parvovirus.
