Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.

We have had two of our rescue’s adopted dogs receive pacemakers to save their lives Kingsten and Binx !!

Water 911. I’ve gotten three calls this week for wildlife so dehydrated they collapsed in yards. I advised each person to set Water down. All three animals recovered without needing rehabilitation efforts. PLEASE set water out, shallow bowls up high and low, placed in shade near bushes or trees (to help stop predator attacks). Provide fresh water a minimum of three days a week to help wildlife survive this heat and dry weather

Dear Mom and Dad,
Let me stay home. It's not nice for me to walk and run next to you. But because I am a loyal dog, I often go beyond my limits. So I walk and run beside you, standing still if I have to. All while I feel my paws burning.

Even as little as 5 minutes can be fatal to me and to my paws. I sweat through my paws, and in the heat I just can not get rid of the sweat. My whole body starts boiling, but I’ll keep going because I am as loyal as loyal comes. When you look at me panting and moving around you think I’m excited to be out here walking or running with you and I am, I promise you I am, but it’s more that I can’t cool off and my feet are in severe pain. My paws are literally cooking.

By the time we have gotten home my paws have been burning the entire duration we were out, my tongue is dry and my head is pounding in the heat that my body cannot get rid of.

You know when you ask if I want to go for a walk or a run I will instantly jump up and want to go because I love you so much and I love these activities but I also don’t know what awaits me. I depend on you to know what’s in my best interest. So instead, let me stay at home where I can enjoy the sun, with a large bowl of water, somewhere in the shade. A cool area with grass would be best.

With all the love I have in the whole world - I give it all to you - Love your dog 🩷🐾

With the warmer temperatures remember 70 degrees or higher outside is too hot to leave an animal in a car !

Lee County Domestic Animal Services reminds you that 70 degrees is too hot

Fort Myers, FL, March 6, 2024 – Now that the temperatures are warming up, Lee County Domestic
Services would like to remind pet owners that it is not safe to leave your furry friends alone in your
vehicle.
When temperatures reach 70 degrees it is too hot to leave them unattended in a car. In fact,
when it is just 81 degrees outside the temperature inside can soar to 138 degrees within minutes.

County Ordinance 14-22 Section 3-23 states: The owner or operator of a motor vehicle shall not place or
confine an animal, nor allow an animal to be placed or confined in an unattended motor vehicle without
sufficient ventilation or under conditions which may endanger the health or well-being of the animal due to
heat, lack of water or any other circumstances which may cause suffering, disability or death.

The best thing you can do is leave them comfortable at home. They will be waiting there when you arrive,
happy, healthy and wagging their tails.

For more information call 239-533-7387 (LEE-PETS) or visit www.LeeLostPets.com. Find Lee County
Domestic Animal Services’ social media sites on Facebook or Instagram .
