MONROE - The Green County Humane Society is resuming dog adoptions today.
Veterinarians confirmed the shelter is safe to allow dogs to be adopted without fear of transmitting a bacteria strain that shut down the shelter last week, according to an e-mail statement Monday from the Humane Society.
GCHS on June 10 temporarily halted all dog adoptions as a medical precaution following a bacteria hazard, which caused the euthanization of a dog at the shelter June 7.
The female dog had to be euthanized after it rapidly became very ill. It was discovered the dog had streptococcus equi zooepidemicus, a potentially serious bacteria strain that has caused fatal outbreaks in other animal shelters in recent years.
