Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.
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.
