News: Expired: July 4 Pet safety

Published Mon July 1, 2024

Keep your pets safe this holiday.

It is recommended that pet owners take the following steps to keep their pets safe this Independence Day holiday:

► Be sure that your pet’s license and shots are up to date.

► Be sure that your pet is wearing its tag.

► Update any microchip information online.

► Do not bring your dog to a fireworks display. You may enjoy it; your dog probably will not. We have found that even dogs that are not frightened by thunderstorms are terrified of fireworks.

► Stay with the pet if you can to comfort it when things get loud.

The shelter will have staff on duty to help calm our pets on the evening of July 4.

Note: Both the lost and found pet reports should always include a photo or photos when possible. The shelter staff will work hard to match the lost and found pets with their owners.
