Our friends at Mac’s Mission are 💯 right!! Please be aware! Fear causes dogs to act in ways they’ve never acted before, like escaping a fence you thought was safe. Plan ahead to keep your furry family safe.
IT IS STARTING. Lost dogs. 🎆💔 FIREWORKS AREN’T FUN FOR EVERYONE 💔🎆
Every year around the 4th of July, animal shelters and rescues brace for the worst night of the year. Just five minutes of scrolling and this is what we see.
While humans gather to celebrate, the world becomes a warzone for our pets, wildlife, and veterans with ptsd.
The sharp cracks, booms, and flashes of fireworks don’t sound like a party to them — they sound like danger.
Panic sets in. Dogs scale fences they’ve never tried to jump. Cats vanish into the night, their hearts pounding in terror. Animals break through windows, chew through doors, claw through crates — anything to escape the invisible threat.
The result? Thousands of pets go missing every single year.
Some are never found. Some are hit by cars, injured, or worse. Some wait in shelters, scared and alone, hoping their family will come.
This isn’t just about fear — it’s about survival.

If you have pets, please protect them:
🐾 Keep them indoors during fireworks.
🐾 Turn on calming music or white noise.
🐾 Close windows and curtains.
🐾 Stay home if you can — your presence is their peace.
🐾 Make sure they’re wearing a collar with ID tags.
🐾 Make sure they have a leash on if you take them potty.
🐾 Medicate them with veterinary guidance.
🐾 Keep them home!
🐾 Ensure their microchip info is up to date.
And please… if you know someone planning backyard fireworks, ask them to think twice. Fireworks don’t just light up the sky — they shatter the sense of safety for our most vulnerable companions.

We wish this July 4th could be a celebration for everyone, not a nightmare for those who can’t understand what’s happening.
