The first rabies case in a dog in nearly 7 years in Missouri was recently confirmed in mid-November.
According to the McDonald County Health Department, lab testing from the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory confirmed a dog had recently been exposed to rabies.
The health department stated the dog was likely exposed in the northwest area of McDonald County, possibly from an exposure to a skunk.
The confirmation marks the first case of rabies in a dog in Missouri in nearly 7 years, according to data made available by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).
In 2025, one rabies exposure in a cat was confirmed in Missouri in Howell County.
The dashboard shows bats, cats, cows, dogs, foxes, horses, raccoons, rodents, rabbits, skunks and other domestic and wild animals are often tested for rabies in Missouri.
As of the latest update on the dashboard in 2025, a total of 2,076 rabies tests had been conducted on several different animals in the state, resulting in 31 confirmed cases of rabies, including 24 bats and 5 skunks in addition to the one cat and one dog.
In the last ten years, Missouri has averaged about 24 cases of rabies per year among animals.
The McDonald County Health Department posted the following facts about rabies:

• 90% of rabies cases occur in wildlife (bats, raccoons, skunks, foxes).
• Incubation in pets is typically 3 to 12 weeks.
• Early signs are sudden behavioral changes and unexplained progressive paralysis.
• Later stage signs are aggression, biting, paralysis, excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing.

The department also provided these tips for people to protect their animals and family:

• Keep domestic animals vaccinated.
• Avoid contact with wild animals.
• Report suspicious animal behavior to local authorities

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!

Coco has an approved adopter and will be meeting his new Famiky tomorrow morning, if all goes well he will be going to a great home who take excellent care of him! Keep your paws 🐾 Crossed and send good vibes his way!

Anyone out there want to give CoCo another chance at the good life every dogs deserves??????

CoCo was found at a property where his owners tied him in a brushy area with nasty water, short chain and a dog house covered in moldy straw for him to lay in..

UNFORTUNATELY......... Due to his living conditions he tested positive for Heartworm a week ago 😞

CoCo is quite hyped up being in the shelter that it would be in his best interest to find a calm couch to lay on before moving forward with his treatment. He has been started but we can not move forward with the injections as it will most certainly be too risky being in a kennel environment...

This guy literally NEEDS A HOME TO SAVE HIM!

Please reach out via email if you think you could give Coco a permanent home.
