(Aliquippa, PA) On Wednesday, a puppy at the Beaver County Humane Society tested positive for Canine parvovirus. According to the Beaver County Humane Society, the puppies are particularly susceptible to parvovirus, which is caused through direct or indirect contact with feces. When the puppies turn six to eight weeks old, they can receive the vaccine against this disease. Officials are using cleaning procedures and quarantining exposed animals to stop the parvovirus spread.
