There's currently a major increase in sick dogs with canine influenza virus at the Chuck & Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Adoption Center in Fort Worth.
In a news release, Fort Worth Animal Care & Control confirmed a majority of dogs at the center are showing symptoms of the illness or have been exposed.
To help limit exposure, city shelter workers are requesting pet owners surrender their pets to friends and family instead. Vaccinate and hold the animal during its initial 14-day vaccination period to allow the animal to develop immunity prior to surrender.
