Pets near Fayetteville, NC have PFAS in their blood.

A study by North Carolina State University found elevated levels of PFAS in the blood of pet dogs and horses from Gray's Creek, N.C., including dogs that only drank bottled water. The study included 31 dogs and 32 horses from the community, and all of the households in the study were on well water, which had been tested and deemed PFAS contaminated by state inspectors. The veterinary blood chemistry panels for the animals showed changes in diagnostic biomarkers used to assess liver and kidney dysfunction, two organ systems that are primary targets of PFAS toxicity in humans.
