🐾 Check Your Dog’s Skin for Signs of Irritation!

Regular skin checks are key to catching issues early! Focus on common hotspots like the belly, paws, face, and ears—areas where symptoms of dermatitis, irritation, or allergic reactions often appear. Keeping an eye on these spots can help you spot redness, hair loss, or other signs of discomfort before they worsen. 🐶💙

Every year, about 100,000 dogs die because they ride in the back of trucks. And that’s just the number of dogs that die—even more get badly hurt.

Truck beds don’t protect dogs from the weather. On hot days, the metal floor can get so hot it burns their paws or skin. If a dog is left in the sun without water or shade, it can get heatstroke very quickly.

Even though dogs might look happy with the wind in their faces, dirt, dust, and other stuff in the air can hurt their eyes, ears, and lungs.

Never tie your dog to the truck bed. If the dog falls or jumps out, it could get strangled by the leash. This can happen in an accident or even if the dog just tries to jump out.

If your dog has to ride in the back of a truck, put it in a crate. Make sure the crate is tied down tightly so it can’t move around or fall out. This will help protect your dog from the wind and weather.

Keep your pets safe! 💙

The gift of fostering a pet is one of the most selfless acts of love you can give. While adoption may not always be an option, opening your home to a pet in need provides them with a safe space to heal, grow, and prepare for their forever family. ❤️ If you have the space and love to give, fostering can change a pet’s life in ways you’ll never forget.
