The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region in Colorado Springs urgently needs donations following several suspected cases of Strep Zoo among dogs in their care. One dog has tested positive, while three others had inconclusive results. With over 100 dogs requiring preventative antibiotics, the shelter estimates costs exceeding $25,000. Donations will help cover medicine, testing, cleaning supplies, and protective gear for staff.

To contain the outbreak, the shelter has restricted intakes to emergency cases only and temporarily suspended appointments at its Veterinary clinic. They are appealing to the community for support through financial contributions to ensure the health and safety of the animals and staff.
