They had hoped to sanitize the shelter over the weekend, but as of Monday, five at-risk dogs remain in the shelter.
Workers expect to move the remaining dogs into an isolated area soon, so they can begin cleaning the shelter.

Six of the dogs had to be euthanized.
Twenty-seven dogs tested positive for distemper last week.
