🐾 Friendly Reminder 🐾

With the upcoming fireworks celebrations, it's important to ensure the safety of our furry friends! Please remember to have some form of identification on your dog in case the loud sounds startle them and they run off. This simple step can help individuals and animal control officers reunite you with your beloved pet quickly. Let's keep our fur babies safe during this festive season! 🐶❤️🎆

🐾🏡 At John Cotton Memorial Animal Shelter, we may only have one dedicated Animal Control Officer, Gene, but his passion and commitment to helping animals knows no bounds! 🐶❤️🐱 Pittsfield Animal Shelter, on the other hand, has a team of 8 people working tirelessly to care for our furry friends.

🌟 Remember, every shelter has its own unique circumstances and challenges. Let's celebrate the hard work and dedication of all those who strive to make a difference in the lives of animals in need! 🐾💕

FIREWORK PET SAFETY!!
As we get closer to celebrating the 4th of July, let’s remember firework season can be a very stressful time for our pets due to the loud booming noises and bright exploding lights.

Here are a few essential tips to keep our furry companions calm and safe.
🎆 have their favorite toy and treats at hand to keep them occupied and provide a distraction or positive reinforcement.
🎆 Create a safe place of comfort they can retreat to, such as a quiet cozy corner equip with blankets and toys. If outdoors, ensure they are contained safely to prevent them from running away. (If possible bring them indoors)
🎆 Ensure all tags/identification on collars are current in the case of an escape.
🎆 If your pet is exceptionally anxious or sensitive to fireworks, make an appt with your Veterinarian as they will be able to recommend calming supplements or medications

🎇Please share any helpful tips/tricks you use to help your pet cope below in the comments.
