Hot Pavement, Happy Paws? Not Always! 🐾☀️
As temperatures rise, it’s important to remember that if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Pavement can get dangerously hot, even on mild days—burning your dog’s sensitive paw pads in minutes.
Check the ground: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, skip the walk or find a grassy, shaded route.

Safe temps for dog walking 🌡️
Under 75°F – usually safe
75°F–85°F – caution, walk during cooler hours
85°F+ – high risk for burns and overheating

Best times to walk: Early morning or late evening when the ground is cooler.
Always bring water and watch for signs of overheating: excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy.

Keep those paws safe and those tails wagging! 🐕💙

It’s going to be hot this weekend!🔥

Dogs can quickly overheat. Signs of heat stroke in dogs include:
🐾 rapid panting
🐾 weakness
🐾 vomiting
🐾 diarrhea
🐾 thick/sticky saliva

Chip Your Pet Before the 4th of July! 🎆
While we love celebrating Independence Day with fireworks and festivities, the 4th of July is also one of the most common days for pets to go missing. Loud noises and unfamiliar crowds can cause even the calmest pets to panic and run. 🐶💨🐱
Be prepared. A microchip is a simple, affordable way to make sure your pet can be quickly identified and reunited with you if they get lost.

June is National Microchip Month! 🐾🔍
Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lives? A microchip is a simple, low-cost way to give your furry friend the best chance of making it back home if they ever get lost. 💙🏡
At FONCAS, we’re passionate about keeping pets safe and with the families who love them. Microchipping is quick, painless, and could make all the difference in a moment of crisis.

Take action this month and double-check your pet’s chip is registered and up-to-date!

Did you know FONCAS has an Emergency Medical Fund that helps both current shelter animals and adopted alumni? 🐾💙
Thanks to the support of our generous community, we’re able to provide critical medical care for animals at the Napa County Animal Shelter—whether they’re waiting for their forever home or already part of one.
Your donations make it possible for us to give every pet a fighting chance at a healthy, happy life—and to help keep them with the families who love them. 🏡✨

Bringing home a new pet is exciting—but it’s also a big change for your furry friend. 🐾
At Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter, we know that every animal adjusts to their new home at their own pace. 💙

Whether it’s their first home or a second chance, your patience and support make all the difference.

🐶🐱 Here are a few ways to help your new pet feel safe and secure:
✔️ Give them time and space to adjust to their new surroundings
✔️ Introduce them to family members slowly
✔️ Establish a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest
✔️ Keep doors and gates secure to prevent accidental escapes

Remember, love, patience, and consistency go a long way in helping shelter pets feel right at home. 🏡
