To vo the cornoavirus pandemic is impacting the way local animal shelters operate.

The tupelo lee humane society has closed its offices to the public.

Dogs and cats are still available for adoption, however, people are asked to call and make an appointment to see them.

Also, those who want to drop off a stray animal must call or email the shelter first, so staff can determine if the animal can be brought in.

Staff are concentrating on animals that have immediate health issues.

The temporary guidelines are meant to protect everyone.

"we want to maintain a safe level of bio security for our employees here, we do have living creatures that depend on us to take care of them, if we have everybody get sick all at once that makes it difficult so we want to make sure we continue with operations as we can but also in the same way, providing a welfare service to the community as best as possible."
