6/12/2017 For Immediate Release:
The Humane Society of Henderson County wants to address the issue that occurred concerning Baylisascaris Procyonis. It is never the intention of the Shelter re-home animals that have unaddressed medical issues. Animals taken into the Shelter receive basic medical care such as dewormer, flea treatment and intake medications. If other issues present, the staff works diligently to seek further medical attention and treatment. We are very thankful for the support we have received over the years to provide treatment for these animals.
When the dog in question was returned to the Shelter, management contacted the adopter's veterinarian to receive a copy of the report. We then contacted our local veterinarian to get further recommendations. The Humane Society of Henderson County has also contacted the CDC and local health department and is fully cooperating with those agencies.
The dog was placed in quarantine and treated according to vet recommendations. A follow up fecal test will be conducted in accordance with recommendations as well.
All dogs in the Shelter were also treated in accordance with veterinary recommendations. Follow up fecal tests will be conducted in accordance with those recommendations.
The indoor and outdoor kennels have also been cleaned and sanitized in accordance with recommendations.
The Humane Society of Henderson County wants to ease the public's mind by describing the steps we have taken to address this issue. Once we were made aware, we immediately created an action plan to address this issue to keep our animals, staff, volunteers and visitors safe.
We will continue to follow up with this issue until it is appropriately resolved. The Humane Society wants to thank everyone for their concern and support regarding this incident. We appreciate this opportunity to respond and please rest assured that it is being taken seriously and addressed accordingly.
