Has your pet run away recently because they were scared by fireworks? They may be at Ventura County Animal Services

Here's one of the top stories KCLU covered this week:

They might look pretty, but a Ventura County Animal Shelter says that fireworks are the reason they are currently well-above capacity.

Over 150 lost dogs have been brought to the shelter in Camarillo since the holiday earlier this month.

"It's bad. You can see over here we're pairing up dogs in kennels and this is not ideal at all," said Randy Friedman from Ventura County Animal Services.

These are all owned dogs, says Friedman.

Friedman says the shelter has 146 dog kennels, and usually a rate of about 20-25 dogs coming in per week.

"These are all animals who just got out somehow, and we're hoping that their owners find them here," he said.

🚨🐍 Summer Safety Alert for Pet Owners! 🌞🐕

As temperatures rise, rattlesnakes become more active, posing a risk to our curious furry friends. Rattlesnakes are a concern during summer because they are out basking in the sun or hunting, increasing the chance of an encounter during your walks or backyard explorations.

Here are some tips to keep your pet safe:

1) Stick to Clear Paths: When walking, keep your dog on a leash and stay on open trails where snakes are more visible.
2) Avoid Tall Grass and Rocks: These are favorite hiding spots for snakes!
3) Snake Training Classes: Consider enrolling your dog in snake avoidance training.
4) Check Your Yard: Regularly inspect your yard for snakes before letting your pets out.
We do offer a rattlesnake vaccine so feel free to call us with questions or schedule an appointment to learn more. 805-522-7476

Prevention Tips:

3) Leash Training: Always use a leash during walks to prevent runaways.
If Your Pet Gets Lost:
1) Act Quickly: Search your neighborhood and call your pet's name.
2) Notify Local Shelters: Contact shelters and vet clinics in your area with your pet’s description and your contact information.
3) Use Social Media: Post on local lost pet groups and community pages to spread the word.
