WEBVTT WHAT STEPS THE CITY IS TAKING. MARY: THESE DOGS ARE ON LOCKDOWN. AS THE CITY TESTS FOR A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE AT THE JASPER ANIMAL SHELTER. >> WE LEARN WE HAD AN ANIMAL THAT HAD THE STAFFER. MARY: A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DISEASE. IT INCLUDES RUNNING NOSE, EYES AND FEVER. IT CAN BE SPREAD THROUGH THE AIR AND IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. >> 10 ANIMALS WERE TESTED. EIGHT TESTED POSITIVE, TOO TESTED NEGATIVE. MARY: NOW THE CITY IS TESTING ALL ANIMALS IN THE SHELTER. >> THERE IS EUTHANASIA IF WE DON’T GET PAST IT. MARY: THE MAYOR SAYS NO DOGS GO IN AND NO DOGS ARE ADOPTED OUT. JESTERS -- JASPER’S MAYOR DOES NOT KNOW HOW THE DOGS GOT THE DISEASE. THEY ARE OPENING THE DOOR TO MAIN SOCIETY UNTIL AFTER THE TEST RESULTS COME IN. >> WHATEVER WE FIND OUT, WE HAVE TO EXECUTE THE PLAN AND GET IT IN PLACE BEFORE THE SHELTER REOPENS. I WOULD IMAGINE THE SHELTER WOULD REOPEN UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE GREATER BIRMINGHAM HUMANE SOCIETY.
