Several dogs test positive for distemper at Brunswick County Animal Shelter

For the next couple of weeks, no dogs will be adopted from the Brunswick County Animal Shelter.

Several dogs staying at the shelter have tested positive for distemper, a highly contagious disease caused by a virus.

The shelter will decide in two weeks whether to start allowing dog adoptions again. All services for cats, including adoption, will still be available.

If you have questions about distemper, call Brunswick County Animal Services at 910-755-6434.
