City of Odessa issued the following announcement on Oct. 22
Due to the recent distemper outbreak, the Odessa Animal Shelter will be limiting intakes for approximately 2 weeks. At this time, only animal control officers will be doing emergency intakes and will continue to respond to animal control calls accordingly. The Odessa Animal Shelter is currently working with a local veterinarian, who is working with a team from the University of Florida in reference to the recent distemper outbreak.
To help clear the shelter and save lives, the Odessa Animal Control Shelter is asking the public to foster dogs that test negative for distemper. Anyone willing to foster a dog can eventually adopt it for free as long as they have it spayed or neutered. Anyone interested in fostering a dog at the Odessa Animal Control Shelter is asked to call 432-368-3527 during regular business hours.
