(KNZA)--An area northeast Kansas animal shelter is closed and under quarantine due to a highly-contagious virus.
The Heart of Jackson County Humane Society, in Holton, announced in a social media post last week that it would be closing for two weeks due the detection of canine parvovirus.
A dog and her eight puppies were recently brought into the shelter recently, with one of the puppies testing positive for parvo.
Parvovirus spreads easily and has already killed one puppy at the shelter.
Puppies between six weeks and six months are the most susceptible to the virus.
