Maury County Animal Services (MCAS) is closed to the public for adoptions and intakes until September 14 due to a large percentage of their staff experiencing COVID-19, the animal center shared on social media.
MCAS “is currently experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak. Over 75% of our staff is affected,” reads their Facebook post.
As they are following CDC quarantining guidelines, they will be closed to the public until September 14.
Currently, MCAS has only 1-3 personnel to care for over 200 animals in the shelter and to respond to calls in the field, MCAS writes.
MCAS hopes to resume normal animal control activities after Labor Day.
