SUMMER HEAT ADVISORY: IT'S NOT ‘COOL’ TO LEAVE YOUR PET OUT IN THE HEAT!
With summer comes extreme temperatures, and it is very important to limit your pet's time outdoors to avoid heatstroke, organ damage and other life-threatening problems. On hot days, please keep outdoor activity to a minimum, stay cooler in the shade, and be sure your pet is well hydrated. Remember, if it's too hot outside for YOU, then it's too hot for your pet!
Also, NEVER leave your pet in a parked car - even with the windows cracked - even in the shade - even for just a few minutes. Not only is dog theft rampant, but it only takes minutes for the temperature in a car to rise well into the 100's, and only a few minutes more before a pet will suffer heatstroke and succumb. If you love your dog, leave it at home where it is safe!
If you see a pet in a vehicle on a hot day, take immediate action: Note the car description, then go to the nearest stores and ask the managers to page the owner. Call the police, which usually can respond much faster than animal control departments. If the dog is in distress, the police have the capability to enter the vehicle and rescue the pet.
Our adoptable animals are all in private foster homes. If you are looking to adopt, please check for available animals under the Adopt tab. The site is updated whenever new animals are available.
