TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Pima Animal Care Center has reopened all sections of the shelter after temporarily limiting public access due to a canine distemper outbreak.
Ten of roughly 500 dogs tested positive for the disease, which is highly contagious and can be deadly to puppies and adult dogs.
The shelter's largest housing section reopened last week after all the dogs there tested negative.
The last three kennel sections opened Wednesday, and the Eastside PACC Adoption Center reopened June 30.
Regular intake resumed on Sunday.
