More County Shelter Dogs Euthanized

Franklin County Dog Shelter officials says eight more canines have been euthanized following a weekend distemper outbreak, bringing the total number to 60. The dogs showed severe signs of distemper or were deemed unfit for a prolonged quarantine. At least 19 dogs exposed to distemper have been moved to a medically supervised quarantine area. Shelter officials say they're working with rescue groups to move more dogs, though they must be assured any outbreak could be contained.
