🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE: HARALSON COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER UNDER QUARANTINE 🚨
Due to a suspected outbreak of Parvovirus, the Haralson County Animal Shelter is under mandatory quarantine as directed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
The affected dogs are believed to have contracted the virus prior to arriving at the shelter. Unfortunately, because Parvo symptoms aren’t always visible right away, the infection wasn’t detectable during intake.
We’re taking all necessary precautions to contain the virus and protect the animals currently in our care.
This is a critical reminder to keep your pets up-to-date on their vaccinations—not only for their safety, but to help protect the broader pet community.
Our shelter has seen a surge in dumped and abandoned animals lately, many in poor condition. If you witness suspicious activity involving animal dumping or neglect, please report it immediately.
🛑 The shelter will remain closed to the public for two weeks as we respond to this situation.
📅 We are tentatively planning to reopen on July 14th.
🚨 We will still be responding to animal-related emergencies during this time.
Thank you for your understanding, compassion, and continued support as we work through this challenging time. 💛🐾
