Before the dogs land in their new homes, radioactive dust is cleaned from their fur. They are quarantined for a few weeks and given a thorough exam before earning a clean bill of health. “All the dogs have been screened and examined for any sort of contamination in their bodies. They certainly pose no significant threat to anybody handling them,” biologist Tim Mousseau told Newsweek.

All the dogs in the adoption program are spayed and neutered, so there is no possibility of them passing on their genes while living in the U.S. regardless, Mousseau said.

“Most of them do not seem to be radioactive, that was a bit of a surprise,” he said. “We saw absolutely no dogs with two heads or any major genetic abnormalities.”
