Leaving pets in cars on hot days can be incredibly dangerous. Even when it's just 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to over 100 degrees in as little as ten minutes. Dogs, in particular, are highly susceptible to heatstroke and can suffer brain damage or death in a matter of minutes in such conditions. Their bodies cannot regulate heat as efficiently as humans, making them vulnerable to overheating. It's essential to prioritize their safety by never leaving them unattended in a car, even for a short time. If you can't take them with you, it's best to leave them at home where they can stay cool and comfortable. If you come across an animal left unattended in a vehicle, please contact your local animal control.

PROTECT YOUR PETS!
With scorching heat expected this weekend, please remember to take care of your pets!

It's obvious that you should never leave your pet in a hot car, but many forget about the hot pavement.

The scorching sun can heat up concrete and asphalt to ridiculous levels which can easily burn and blister your dog's delicate paw pads.

It's best to walk your dog in the early morning or late evening when the ground is much cooler. This will prevent their paws from getting burned and greatly reduce the risk of heatstroke.
Make sure there is a constant supply of fresh drinking water and make sure animals have access to shade.

Take care of yourselves as well!

🚨 HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT 🚨

The temperatures may be soaring, but your pets depend on you to help keep them safe.

☀️ Provide fresh, cool water at all times
🌳 Make sure pets have access to shade and cool indoor spaces
🐾 Limit outdoor walks and playtime during the hottest parts of the day
🔥 Check pavement before walks; if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws
🚗 Never leave a pet unattended in a parked vehicle
⚠️ Watch for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, disorientation, or collapse

Heatstroke is a medical emergency. If you notice these symptoms, move your pet to a cooler area, offer small amounts of water if they can drink safely, and seek veterinary care immediately.

Today’s featured is Lilly! Her adoption fee is being sponsored today by Dart Automotive Repair & Service Center. Lilly is a mellow, gentle soul with the sweetest heart. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her soft and loving personality shines through. She enjoys calm companionship and would do best in a quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Lilly is the kind of cat who will quietly steal your heart with her sweetness and grace. If you're looking for a peaceful, loving companion to share cozy moments with, Lilly may be your perfect match. Lilly would do best in a home without other pets or small children. To meet Lilly, please call 843-249-4948 to schedule an appointment, or submit an application at https://humanesocietynmb.org/cat-adoption-form/
