DALLAS, Texas -- Nurse Nina Pham's dog, Bentley, is in the care of the Dallas Animal Services.

Pham is the first person to be infected with Ebola inside the United States. She is currently hospitalized. The 26-year old had been caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of the disease.

Dallas Animal Services posted pictures of the crew taking care of Bentley while he's in quarantine and a note on Facebook, "Hope #NinaPham knows how much we care!"

Bentley is in quarantine at an undisclosed location and is not at any of the Dallas Animal Services and Adoption locations. None of the field staff has been in contact with the dog, Dallas Animal Services officials said.

The group also reiterated that there have been no reports of dogs or cats becoming sick with Ebola or spreading the disease to people or other animals, according to the CDC.

The group has said they will be taking donations, such as paper towels, pads, toys and chewys, to help Bentley.
