A recent pneumovirus outbreak led the Columbia Animal Shelter to temporarily limit intakes of dogs as there is no vaccine for the virus.

The city of Columbia released a statement on Oct. 14 saying the shelter was only taking in dogs that were sick, injured or faced animal cruelty.

Staff and visitors were still allowed inside the facility. But operations were adjusted to limit the risk of spreading illnesses among the dogs. Infected dogs were isolated to minimize exposure among healthy ones.

Third-party legislative candidates received a significant increase in the percentage of votes cast compared to 2020. The candidates with the biggest portions of the vote were the ones running against only one other opponent.

Alliance Party Senate candidate Sarah Work received 23.48% of the vote in her bid for the District 15 position.

“I feel like things are moving in the right direction,” Work said. “For a third-party independent candidate running in her backyard, I think I did pretty well.”
