Portage Animal Control, with the help of Pivot, want to remind people now that the weather is finally getting warmer please watch out for your pets! Make sure they have access to plenty of cool, fresh, water and shade. Try to exercise your pets in the cooler hours of the day and never leave your pets in the car. Vehicles heat up very quickly and even if you only plan on running into a store for a few minutes your pet is in danger of heat related medical emergencies.
