It’s about time to protect the pooch from firework fright and avoid animal shelter searches.
We will be closed today in observance of the holiday. We ask that before you head out to celebrate, please make sure to bring your pets inside. Fireworks are very scary for animals, and they will try to escape from them! If you don't want to spend the 5th of July at shelters looking for your cat or dog, or worse, finding out they had been hit by a car trying to escape the noise, setting them up inside your home will ensure that they cannot leave your yard.
If your dog or cat does escape your yard, we will reopen on Wednesday at 9am (11am for adoptions). Post on NextDoor, Facebook, Pawboost, etc. as soon as you notice they're missing, and then come to the shelter to see if they made it here. Every shelter is full, so we want to make sure they get home as soon as possible!
