🚨 ANIMAL CONTROL NOTICE 🚨

As temperatures begin to rise, HSPD Animal Control would like to remind citizens that confining an animal inside a vehicle when the outside temperature is 80°F or higher is ILLEGAL within the city limits.

Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise to deadly levels within minutes. On an 80° day, the interior of a vehicle can quickly exceed 100°–120°, creating extremely dangerous conditions for pets.

Animals trapped in hot vehicles can suffer:
• Heat exhaustion
• Heat stroke
• Brain damage
• Organ failure
• Death

Signs of heat distress may include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, lethargy, unsteadiness, or collapse.

While leaving the air conditioner running is not a guarantee of safety, it is authorized to do so. However, vehicles can shut off unexpectedly, mechanical failures happen, and temperatures can become fatal in a very short amount of time.

If you cannot take your pet inside with you, consider leaving them safely at home.

Citizens observing an animal confined inside a vehicle during dangerous temperatures are encouraged to immediately contact local law enforcement or animal control.

Help us keep our community’s animals safe this summer. ☀️🐾
