On July 27, a Fairfax County Animal Shelter staff member, dressed in a special suit uses a combination of cleaning agents to decontaminate floors, walls, cages and every “nook and cranny” of the shelter in response to an outbreak of a yet-unidentified upper respiratory infection among its dog population.

One Dead Dog is One Too Many
In an effort to deal with an outbreak of a yet-unidentified upper respiratory infection that has resulted in the death of one dog and sickened a dozen more, the Fairfax County Animal Shelter has temporarily suspended the intake of owner-surrendered dogs as of Friday, July 27 until the shelter can be decontaminated and sanitized. Owners wanting to surrender dogs are being sent to other shelters.
