The Palm Beach County Animal Care shelter announced its plan on Thursday, two days after the dogs, ages 3 to 2 months old, fell ill and died of a respiratory disease known as Streptococcus equi zooepidemicus - often referred to as Strep Zo. The disease causes fever, cough and lethargy in dogs, similar to "kennel cough," according to the National Institutes of Health.
Last month, Miami-Dade County Animal Services issued an advisory urging dog owners to take precaution, the Miami Herald reported.
