Another very sad dog situation.
You are right that we can't judge correctly about the euthanisation of all those dogs. It may have been because they had all been in close contact with dogs who tested positive. However, sadly, many of them might have been all right? We don't know.
Giving them their shots when they first came to the shelter might have helped. But we have to remember that in a shelter situation, they are taking in strays who have never been vaccinated, or belonged to people who never vaccinated them, and they could be bringing in the disease from outside.
The incubation period can be a week, but sometimes less. If dogs are coming in daily, they may have chance to spread the disease before thy are vaccinated.
And now of course, they won't be able to move any. I just hope many of the dogs will be safe, and not euthanised.
Bless all the dogs who passed.
