Please Don't Leave Your Dog In The Car!

It's summertime and that means very hot weather for many of us! It's been up to 102 degrees here!
Please don't leave your dog inside of the car while you go shopping. When the temperature is above 70 degrees farenheit the inside of a parked car can reach 120-175 dgerees even with the windows cracked. 
It doesn't matter if you park in the shade or if you leave the air conditioning on, a parked car can still get as hot as an oven.
Animals can suffer from heat stroke. If you see an animal locked in a car on a hot day (above 70 degrees) tell the store manager. If no one claims the animal and it's panting really hard or collapsing call the police, animal control, or the humane society to get it out. You can make flyers and pass them out at stores or put them on car windows. It is better to leave your dog at home then to risk his life by leaving him in the car.
