Tolland Animal Control has reopened after a exposure to Parvovirus forced a 14-day quarantine.
Animal Control officials said during the 2-week self-imposed quarantine an outside clearing service sanitized the shelter and staff disinfected the shelter facilities daily. The shelter is now safe again for animals.
On July 27 the shelter announced the quarantine after a dog taken in was determined to be suffering from Parvovirus. Parvo is highly contagious to unvaccinated dogs and can be fatal, especially in puppies.
Animals were taken to the Willington animal shelter during the quarantine period.
Animal Control reminds residents to always make sure pets are up to date on vaccinations.
