Annual PSA:
Is Your
Dog Cool?
The "dog days" of summer can be dangerous for dogs
— especially those dogs left inside hot cars. Every year, countless
dogs die after being locked in cars while their guardians work,
visit, shop, or run other errands. These tragic deaths are entirely
preventable.
Through this website,
you'll learn about what you can do to protect dogs from the dangers
of hot cars. You can find out
how quickly cars
heat up in warm weather, whether it's
too hot to take
your dog along today, and how to
get the word out
that it's just not cool to leave a dog in a hot car, even for "just a
minute."
Since our North Carolina spring, summer, and fall
all boast of warm temperatures, this campaign is especially important
in our area nearly year-round. Please educate yourself, then spread
the word! If you know of any good places to educate the public (maybe
you've seen a dog in a car?) please come by the Learning Center to
pick up some of our lovely posters!
