## Resource

Baton Rouge’s Companion Animal Alliance has paused dog adoptions after five confirmed cases of deadly canine distemper—forcing urgent isolation, deep cleaning, and vaccination boosts. While cat adoptions continue for now, dog intake is halted unless emergency. Shelters like CAA, which handles 9,000 animals yearly, face huge challenges keeping everyone safe. If you recently adopted a dog, watch for symptoms and consult your vet. Help them fight back with donations to their Sick and Injured Fund.
