Spring is here! And with that comes a warning about Leptospirosis, a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria.

All dogs are at risk of leptospirosis, regardless of age, breed, lifestyle, geographic location, time of year, and other factors. The following situations can increase that risk:

➡Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
➡ Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
➡ Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
➡ Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)

For more information on the signs of leptospirosis, how to prevent it, and more visit: https://bit.ly/4l4VuOn

**ATTENTION EDGECOMBE COUNTY RESIDENTS!**

The shelter has been staying full. Please remember we have very limited space. If you surrender your dog, there is a possibility of it being euthanized.

This is happening nationwide. Rescues are full and we are doing everything we can to get them out. If you pick up a stray dog, please do your best to make arrangements for it before calling the shelter

We do not like making this post but feel the public needs to be aware of the issues we are currently facing. Please do not blame our Animal Services Officers as they are doing their jobs. They cannot ignore dogs that need help just because the shelter is full.
