The puppies may have been exposed to rabies. The flea market booth has a sign with the name "Pets R Us" and gave out business cards with the name "Feed Me More Pets" of Chesley, Ontario. "The rabies vaccine is extremely effective in preventing the otherwise fatal illness, if it is taken before symptoms occur. It is important for anyone who may have come in contact with the puppies to call the Health Department," said Dr. Monir Taha, Halton's Associate Medical Officer of Health. If someone has come into contact with a puppy from booth #1513 or the business in Chesley, call 905-825-6000 or visit your family doctor immediately.
