It's going to be in the 90s all week, Don't. Take your pet. Your pet is always safer at home rather than in a hot car while you run errands, even if it's just a few minutes.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the heat in a car can rise by:

🌡20 degrees in just 10 minutes
🌡30 degrees in 20 minutes
🌡40 degrees in an hour

And guess what? Cracking the windows doesn't help.

If you see a dog in a hot car, get help. Notify the business where the car is parked so they can assist in finding the dog's owner. Provide them with the car's make, model, and license plate number. If the owner can't be found, contact the police and wait nearby for them to arrive.

⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the U.S. die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.

The human body has no more need for cows' milk
than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.

"The dairy industry has most people believing that cow’s milk, and the cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream and other products derived from it, are “natural” for us to consume. But if these products are indeed so natural, then why does the dairy industry have to use such extremely unnatural practices?

Meet Kitty, Snow, and Ziggy! This trio needs a loving home while their owner is deployed overseas from June 16, 2024, to April 1, 2025. They are located in Fort Drum, NY, and can be transported within a 12-hour radius. Ideally, Kitty and Snow would stay together, but Ziggy can be fostered separately if necessary.

Kitty, an 11-year-old Lab/Blue Heeler mix, is a low-energy girl who loves short walks and sleeping. She’s great with people, children, dogs, and cats. Snow, an 8-year-old Husky, is a medium-to-low energy pup who enjoys meeting new friends. Like Kitty, she’s good with people, children, dogs, and cats, and is also house, leash, and crate trained. Ziggy, a 2-year-old French Bulldog, is full of energy and loves to play. He’s great with people, children, and dogs, though untested with cats. Ziggy comes with a suitcase full of clothes for his dress-up fun!

Can you provide a temporary home for these loving pets? Help a soldier and make a difference in Kitty, Snow, and Ziggy's lives! https://pactforanimals.org/pets/kitty-snow-ziggy-r/

Tyson, a delightful 4-year-old pup, is in urgent need of a loving, understanding home. This adorable canine is the embodiment of sweetness and innocence, with a face that could melt even the coldest of hearts. However, Tyson's charming exterior belies the challenges he faces due to his brachycephalic syndrome, a condition that affects dogs with shortened skulls and can make everyday life a struggle. The high-stress environment of the shelter has already taken a toll, causing Tyson to collapse from the strain. Anxious and uneasy around unfamiliar people, this sensitive soul requires the patient, gentle guidance of an experienced caretaker who can help him decompress and rebuild his shaken confidence. Tyson yearns for a peaceful, secure haven where he can feel safe to explore, play, and blossom into the joyful companion he was born to be. With the right loving home, this affectionate pup can overcome his difficulties and thrive, showering his adopted family with unwavering loyalty and affection. Tyson is a true diamond in the rough, waiting for the chance to shine and share his gentle spirit with a family willing to open their hearts and home to this very special dog.

When rescuers discovered an Italian mastiff all by himself on a Massachusetts beach, they guessed the dog had been abandoned. “I do think he was dumped. I don’t think he could walk there on his own,” an animal control officer, Cindy Berard, told WJAR. “When I went down there, he was actually standing on the rocks in the water, which was weird and he looked stuck like he was kind of lost.”

Cows reared for beef are slaughtered when about 18 months old. Dairy cows are continually artificially impregnated so they'll produce milk and then when "spent" are slaughtered for beef - usually when four years old. https://mercyforanimals.org/heres-why-eating-cheese-is-actually-worse

KILLED

Euth command given for this handsome friendly pewter boy Macarena !

Abandoned tied just outside the ACC, this friendly handsome boy they called Macarena was just eager to meet new people, very well socialized! Mac allowed all handling, was in good spirits, had a loose body, took treats from the staff (trusting and unafraid! ) Mac did great in his behavior evaluation, and even leaned in during handling portion. Everything looked good for Macarena, and it looks like he would have a chance at finding a home.

After acing his behavior evaluation, where he allowed a stranger to handle him and even leaned in for more, here comes the issue that is meant to give them a reason for putting him on the kill list. A friendly pup who has had no issue with people, all of a sudden becomes wary of the staff that was getting him out for his walk. We truly don’t understand it. Mac isn’t afraid of people, maybe he doesn’t like being cooped up, and is exhibiting kennel stress.

This boy was someone’s pet not long ago. He is well socialized and loves people. The ACC is looking for reasons to clear out the pound, as irresponsible owner continue to dump their pets. Please help Macarena find a home, this beautiful gray boy who would be a good companion as he loves and trusts people. He need to get seen, it’s his only chance of getting rescued.
