PACC director Monica Dangler says 'Strep zoo' is very rare, but is naturally carried by horses. It can be deadly for vulnerable dogs in high-stress settings, like shelters.
TUCSON, Ariz. — A dog was found dead in his kennel earlier this week at Pima Animal Care Center , but the staff is breathing a bit easier Thursday after the dog tested negative for Streptococcus zooepidemicus—or 'Strep zoo.'
PACC director Monica Dangler says 'Strep zoo' is very rare, but is naturally carried by horses. It can be deadly for vulnerable dogs in high-stress settings, like shelters. With that ruled out — PACC is now able to ease precautions it took this week, like removing dogs from isolation. After the dog—named 'Chuck'—died over the weekend, PACC paused dog intake but is once again taking in new dogs.
