Do you love dogs? Do you like getting money?
According to Dallas Animal Services, the dogs that are part of the incentive program have been exposed to canine upper respiratory infection, but not all show symptoms.Shelters across the region have been seeing an influx in canine upper respiratory infections in recent months, and Dallas hasn’t been spared.has been trying to stop the spread of these infections at its shelter off North Westmoreland Road and has asked the public for help.
This infection is rarely life-threatening, according to DAS. However, it spreads quickly and can be hard to contain in a shelter environment. Dogs that are infected will exhibit human flu-like symptoms: coughing, sneezing, lethargy and congestion. Within one to two weeks, the infection will go away as long as the dog gets rest and stays hydrated. In more severe cases, a dog may develop secondary infections like pneumonia and require additional treatment.
“This plan requires [DAS] to divide its building, staffing, and supplies in half and operate two completely independent shelters within one building,” Melissa Webber, DAS director, said in a memo earlier this month. “It will be taxing on the team, but we understand the importance of addressing this promptly to avoid endemic illness in our shelter.”
On Thursday, DAS said in a press release that 160 dogs were fostered. More are scheduled for foster, adoption or rescue this week.
