Happy July 4th

Keep your pups safe this holiday weekend.

July 4th is the number one weekend for lost dogs. Shelters get overwhelmed sometimes with 100 extra dogs arriving. This puts the existing shelter dogs at risk for euthanasia if the shelter is over capacity. Please. Please do your part to take extra precautions to keep your dog safe.

Safety Tips:

1- Most of the East Coast is experiencing a heat wave so limit time outside.
2- Don't leave your dog outside alone.
3- Stay with your dog and leash your dog even if inside a fence.
4- Check your fence for gaps and always make sure the gate is closed before letting your dog outside.
5- Give water so your dog is not dehydrated.
6 - Do not leave your dog (even if for a minute) in a car.
7- Keep your dog inside as much as possible this weekend. Even a calm dog can get spooked by fireworks.
8- May sure guests don't feed your dog unsafe picnic foods.

Hope these tips help. This should be a happy weekend so let's all do our part to keep our furry friends safe so everyone can have a Happy 4th weekend.
