โ„๏ธ Winter Weather Pet Safety Reminder! ๐Ÿพ
As temperatures drop, keep your furry friends safe:

โœ… Always wipe your dogโ€™s paws after walksโ€”ice-melting chemicals and salt can irritate their skin or make them sick if licked.
โœ… Limit outdoor time during freezing weather, and ensure pets have a warm, safe space indoors.
โœ… Watch out for frostbite on sensitive areas like ears, tails, and paw pads.

Stay prepared this winter! Check out more tips here: Ready.gov/Winter-Weather.

๐Ÿพ Keep Your Pets Safe During the Chill! โ„๏ธ

As temperatures drop in Harris County, here are a few tips to keep your furry friends safe and warm:

โœ… Bring Them Indoors: Pets are familyโ€”let them share the warmth of your home.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Provide Cozy Bedding: Ensure their sleeping area is away from cold drafts and has blankets to snuggle in.

๐Ÿ’ง Check Water Bowls: Prevent freezing by using plastic bowls and refilling often.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Protect Their Paws: Ice and de-icing salts can harm paws. Wash and dry them after walks.

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Watch for Signs of Cold Stress: Shivering, whining, or reluctance to move may indicate they're too cold.

๐Ÿ“ธ Share Your Cozy Pet Moments: Post your petโ€™s winter-ready photo and tag us!

Together, we can keep Harris County pets safe this winter. โค๏ธ

โœจ From shelter life to service lifeโ€”meet Sargent Tazz! โœจ

When an Army hero walked into our shelter, he wasnโ€™t just looking for a petโ€”he was looking for a partner. He found that in Tazz, a Belgian Malinois known for intelligence, loyalty, and bravery.

Now renamed Sargent Tazz, this incredible pup is beginning a new chapter filled with love, training, and companionship. ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ From wagging tails at the shelter to walking proudly beside his new best friend, Tazz's journey is proof that every dog deserves a second chance. โค๏ธ

๐ŸŽ„ Keep the Holidays Pawsitively Safe! ๐Ÿพ

The holiday season is full of joy, but it can also be risky for our furry friends! Follow these tips to ensure your pets have a safe and happy Christmas:

๐ŸŽ Beware of Dangerous Dรฉcor
Tinsel, glass ornaments, and wires can be tempting for curious pets. Keep these items out of reach to avoid accidents.

๐Ÿซ No Treats for the Tree!
Chocolate, candy, and other festive foods can be toxic. Keep them away from your petsโ€™ curious paws.

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Watch the Flames
Candles and fireplaces add warmth to your home, but they can pose a fire hazard for playful pets. Always supervise and use screens when necessary.

๐Ÿงฆ Mind the Stockings
Small toys and ornaments can be choking hazards. Choose pet-safe gifts for their stockings instead!

Give your pets the gift of safety this holiday season. They'll love you for it! โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿˆ
