The Maricopa County Animal Control & Care (MCACC) is not taking in any stray dogs until at least Friday due to a rare virus. MCACC officials announced a dog at the west shelter has died from Streptococcus Zooepidemicus, often referred to as “Strep Zoo." A 3-year-old dog was found dead in its kennel on Monday. This prompted the veterinary team to conduct a PCR test and the results returned showing the dog tested positive for Strep Zoo.
