Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the U.S. die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car. Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.
The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.
At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.
Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS. Please do not risk their safety. If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe. Click here for more information.
The shelter needs some praziquantel tabs for cats and dogs, small to medium flea and tick prevention (not Hartz), non-clumping cat litter, large breed puppy chow, and kitten food.Contact Us
