Nana is a female Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from Furever Match Inc in Dallas, GA.

My name is Nana. I’m heartbroken that my family left me behind to die in a shelter. I lived my whole life with them and loved them so much… I’m sure they must have had a good reason. I am a sweet girl that is fully vetted and crate trained. I may not be the youngest girl out there but the doctor says I have many good years left. I would love a family to love unconditionally! Maybe I’ll get lucky enough to find someone to curl up by a fire with. Could that be you? Please say it is…

A dog has tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, according to the Capitol Beat News Service via the Savannah Morning News.

The state Department of Public Health said Wednesday a six-year-old mixed breed was tested for coronavirus after developing a fatal neurological condition. The agency did not say where the dog resided.

The dog was tested after its owners also tested positive for the virus and was euthanized due to the neurological condition, which was unrelated to COVID-19, according to the agency.

Pets and wild animals do not pose a significant threat to spreading COVID-19 among humans, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Research is still being done on how easily the virus can spread from humans to animals.

Health experts advise people who contract COVID-19 to avoid touching their pets and have a relative or friend take care of them.
