INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Animal Cares Services has suspended all animal intake after a bacterial strain was identified within the shelter.
IACS says out of an abundance of caution, the shelter will not be accepting animals for the rest of the week. This comes after streptococcus equi zooepidemicus was found inside the building.Two dogs were sent to Purdue University for testing. IACS says the bacterial strain was likely the cause of death for the dogs.
Animals treated with antibiotics will still be eligible for adoption during suspended intake, according to IACS.“IACS is coordinating with animal welfare partners to triage animals that might otherwise have come to the shelter during this time,” the organization said in a statement.For more information on IACS, click here.
