AUBURN, Maine (AP) - Police say a Maine couple is under investigation for allegedly selling several puppies with a contagious, fatal disease that can spread among dogs.
Auburn police executed a search warrant at the couple’s home Monday after receiving a complaint that a puppy purchased from the couple had been diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus Infection.
Police say officers found eight adult dogs and seven puppies, three of which exhibited symptoms of the virus. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss.
The dogs have been quarantined until they can be examined by a veterinarian.
No arrests have been made. Police say the criminal investigation is continuing.
