    An outbreak of dog flu has prompted the Humane Society of Tampa Bay to pause its intake of stray dogs for the first time in its 112-year history. It won't accept dogs until July 12 while it tries to contain the outbreak among the 200 dogs in its care. [ ANGELICA EDWARDS | Times ]

    A bad outbreak of dog flu has stopped Hillsborough County’s two largest shelters from taking in stray dogs for the next two weeks as they try to halt the highly contagious infectious disease. Pasco County has also put a pause on taking in dogs for the next week as it tries to stop the spread.

    Hillsborough County’s Pet Resource Center moved 290 dogs out of its Falkenburg Road shelter so it can be deep-cleaned.
