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!

Canine Spotlight


   
Speckles - Female;
1 year


Personality Profile
: Hi!  My name is "Speckles!"  I am a mixed breed female who will be 1 year old on March 10!  My sister Minnie and I have been in foster care since we were born.  We came to the APS in hopes of finding a family to call our own.  We are very sweet and loving.  We have always been kept in the home so we are house-trained and crate-trained.  We are great with other dogs, cats, and children.  Our hobbies include playing with lots of toys, running and walking on a leash or in a back yard, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch!  Mainly we just want to be wherever you are!  We are very energetic and need lots of attention and exercise.  We do not require being adopted together, in fact, it would be wonderful to be top dog!  Come see us at the APS and give us a chance to make your house a home!

 

Feline Spotlight


Elizabeth - Female; 7 yrs


Personality Profile: The caged life isn't for me, and I'm looking for that special someone to bust me out of here. I'm loving and have a big old "Meow" that matches my big "Purrrrr". I adore people and love to be pet.
