Two Prince George Humane Society shelters are on lockdown following separate virus outbreaks.
In a Facebook post on Friday, the society said its 1st Avenue location will be closed to the public until further notice, after cases of panleukopenia had been identified.
The Lansdowne location confirmed two cases of parvovirus, which comes shortly after the location lifted quarantine from a previous outbreak.
They said the Lansdowne location is open for cat adoptions, and will do everything possible for the space to remain open.
The society noted they’re in need of clean blankets and towels, financial donations to support medical care, and foster homes with no other pets.
They said their focus is on:
- Protecting every animal in our care
- Moving any puppies and kittens out of the shelter environment as quickly as possible
- Maintaining strict biosecurity protocols to prevent community spread
- Supporting fosters with clear, enforceable guidelines to ensure parvo does not leave the home.
