Henderson Animal Shelter halts dog adoptions due to first Canine Pneumovirus case; other dogs suspected.

The Henderson Animal Shelter has suspended dog adoptions following a confirmed case of Canine Pneumovirus, a contagious respiratory illness. In response to the first reported instance of the virus in the shelter, new intakes of dogs and adoptions have been temporarily halted to limit the spread among animals. Dr. Tessa Kronbetter, the shelter's veterinarian, emphasizes that the virus is not contagious to humans or cats and recommends exploring alternative options for pet ownership during the adoption pause.
