The freezing temperatures are here...What you need to know:

It is going to say freezing until Sunday afternoon.

*Prolonged periods of extreme cold is not survivable for dogs in our area!

Dogs need more than a dog house and shavings. They need either a heat lamp, heat pad OR

BRING THEM INDOORS WHERE IT IS WARM!

State Law and County Ordinances require that you provide your pets with SHELTER THAT PROTECTS THEM FROM THE ELEMENTS OF WEATHER!

This includes Extreme Temperatures!

🦛🦛Liam wants to remind everyone that house hippos don’t like the cold! They love jammies and couches. He’s sad to think that other house hippos don’t have all the things that he does now! He’d love if everyone would show some love to his pals at Union County SC Animal Shelter so that the residents there have food and toys until they find their furever!🦛🦛

Beware!!!!!

Have a good holiday and don't risk having to go to the emergency vet. If you've considered getting one of these for your dog or a friend's dog, just don't! Please.
Benebones, antlers, no-hide chews, cow tracheas, beef tendons, bully sticks, yak chews... These are all much healthier options! 🎄🐾🤎

PLEASE!
It’s cold outside and they want to be warm. Bang the hood, kick the tires and sound the horn a couple of times. Just take a minute. You could save a LIFE !

Keep Your Best Friends Safe at Home
In Union County, dog owners are legally required to keep their pets on a leash or under direct control when off their property. Not only is this the law, it makes good sense!

Pets kept indoors or comfortably confined inside a fenced yard are protected from dangers such as other animals, people with ill-intentions, and traffic. Remember that cats need this protection, too.

Be prepared in case your pet does get away.
A pet — even an indoor pet — has a better chance of being returned when wearing a collar and an ID tag with your name, address, and telephone number.

Write up a complete description of your pet including any identifying information today, so that you won’t have to rely on your memory when you are worried about Tigger or Rover. And be sure to keep current pictures of your pet.
