Animal Humane Society says quarantine over canine flu to remain until at least mid-May
MINNEAPOLIS -- A Twin Cities animal rescue group says any help they can get will help more pets. A canine flu outbreak shut down three Animal Humane Society shelters two weeks ago.
About 200 dogs got sick, and seven had to be put down. However, most are on the mend now.
A quarantine will remain in place until at least mid-May, and the Humane Society says that will cost them around $1 million. Donors have offered to double gifts up to $50,000 through midnight.
