A Georgia animal shelter temporarily closed after a bacterial outbreak killed three dogs.
A Gwinnett County animal shelter in Georgia has temporarily closed until December 17 due to a bacterial outbreak that killed three dogs. Identified as Streptococcus zooepidemicus, the bacteria can cause severe health issues in dogs but can be treated with antibiotics. The shelter paused adoptions earlier this week and will continue to handle reclaims and accept sick or aggressive animals to ensure community safety.
