Safety for You and Your Pet
Summer weather brings opportunities for endless fun outdoors for
you
and your companion animals. But it also brings health and safety
hazards,
including heat stroke and 4th of July fright for all pets.
Recommendations to
prevent pets from getting overheated: Never leave pets alone in a parked
car even for a minute!
Make sure pets always have fresh,
clean water available.
Ensure pets have access to shade and
can move out of direct sun.
When temperatures soar, leaving
animals unattended in a yard without
shade or confined or tied in such a way that they can’t move
into shade is unsafe.
Remember not to leave pets outside
for long periods without checking
them. An area with plenty of shade at 10
a.m. may be scorching by afternoon.
If you know the symptoms of
heatstroke and how to respond, you can avert a potential
catastrophe for your companion animals. Your pets might be experiencing
heatstroke if they demonstrate any of
the following signs: Excessive panting or difficulty
breathing. Bloody diarrhea or vomit. Increased respiratory rate. Salivation. Depression, stupor, collapse, or
coma.
If your pets show any of these
warning signs, remove them from direct
heat and spray them with cool water or
place wet towels on their head, neck,
chest, feet, and abdomen but do not submerge them
in water. Contact your vet
immediately. The
shelter's wish list... Because the Shelters knows what works
best, and where to buy certain items, gifts of money are
always welcome.

If
you are a resident of Washington
County, TN, and you
need financial aid for the spaying
or neutering of your pet,
call the Washington County Humane
Society at 926-8533.
Report all
animal cruelty to 911 or your
local law enforcement agency.
How much does it cost to care for a dog, cat,
fish, hamster, etc? The
shelter has to kill about 5,000 animals per
year mostly
due to unneutered/unspayed animals creating unwanted babies
and the lack of space at the shelter. Have
you done your part to stop the this
cycle?
1) 'FIX' (SPAY
OR NEUTER) ALL OF
THE CATS AND DOGS YOU FEED!
Need help catching
them? Call 423-926-8769 for help.
Need
help paying for the surgery? Call 423-926-8533 for help.
2) PREVENT DISEASE...GET
YOUR PET ALL OF IT'S YEARLY VACCINES!
Save your pet's
life (and your money) with prevention, instead of treatment.
3) ADOPT FROM
A SHELTER OR RESCUE,
INSTEAD OF BUYING FROM A BREEDER!
Use Petfinder.org
to find any breed you want!
Every pet bought
from a breeder = another homeless pet killed at the shelter.
4) EDUCATE YOURSELF
ABOUT THE BREED BEFORE ADOPTING!
Do not bring
a pet into a home that is not suitable for it.
5) ADOPT FOR LIFE...PETS CAN
LIVE
UP TO 20 YEARS!
Keep this in
mind before you make this long term commitment.
6)
KEEP YOUR INFO
UP TO DATE ON YOUR PET'S TAG
OR MICROCHIP in
case of an
emergency.
Consider this before getting a new
kitten or puppy....
