ANIMALS IN PARKED CARS
Let’s talk about it.
-Cars malfunction
-Animals bouncing around can bump a k**b turning a/c to heat.
-Autostart/Remote start on cars typically shut off after 10-15 minutes and most will only restart a maximum of two times.
-Parked vehicles do not circulate air as well as a moving vehicle so the a/c will not work as well in a parked car and may just be moving hot air.
-The temperature in a non running vehicle can raise 2 degrees per minute meaning in just 10 minutes your pet’s life can be in danger.
-Animals in open truck beds without shade/shelter/access to cool space and water can also easily overheat.
The points I’ve made are all because they are excuses we have heard. No matter what excuse you have, it won’t matter if your pet is dead because of your actions.
This may be more graphic than some things we share but people need to understand that heatstroke in pets is not quick or painless. It is a horrible process and your pet will be terrified and suffering until they take their last breath. It essentially, means their organs “cook” inside their body. Many animals that live never fully recover or may be permanently disabled.
LOVE THEM ENOUGH TO LEAVE THEM HOME!

Final push to purchase no-pull harnesses for shelter dogs!

FINAL 24 HOURS! We are purchasing No-Pull Harnesses to assist in training the shelter dogs. Many of these dogs have had no training which is how they end up in the shelter. Our wonderful shelter staff are working with these dogs on the basics to help them transition successfully into adopted homes. Leash walking skills can be difficult on large, powerful dogs. We have been “test driving” a few harnesses at the shelter and they WORK!

We have a fantastic price of ONLY $30/harness (includes shipping)!

We have had Anglod response and are very grateful for those who have donated 12 so far. We’d like a last push to double that….. Each harness will be given to a dog and will stay with that dog into the adopted home.

Reach out to me directly to purchase.
Help if you can and please share!

THANK You!!
