| Just so you know Our days here at the shelter start as early as 6:30 a.m. and sometimes it is difficult for us to get the phone. There are only 3 employees here at all times and if we are busy it may take us a minute to get to the phone. It takes all of us to make sure that our babies are taken care of properly. So, please be patient with us and if you will leave us a message we will get back to you just as quick as we can. We have a lot of animals to care for as well as our livestock and sometimes we just can't make it to the phone. We appreciate your cooperation with this matter and thank you for your understanding! Jenny, Jeff, Haley, and Furry Friends |

| How Long Does It Take For A Car to Get Hot? Outside Temp: Temp.In Car: Time it Takes to Reach: 75 100 10 minutes 75 120 30 minutes 85 90 5 minutes 85 100 7-10 minutes 85 120 30 minutes 100 140 15 minutes • compiled by DFPS from various national sources Never Leave Your Pet in the Car In nice weather you may be tempted to take your pet with you in the car while you travel or do errands. But during warm weather, the inside of your car can reach 120 degrees in a matter of minutes, even if you're parked in the shade. This can mean real trouble for your companion animals left in the car. Dogs and cats can't perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet. Pets who are left in hot cars even briefly can suffer from heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage, and can even die. Don't think that just because you'll be gone "just a minute" that your pet will be safe while you're gone; even an air-conditioned car with the motor off isn't healthy for your pet. To avoid any chance that your pet will succumb to the heat of a car this summer, be sure to play it safe by leaving your pet cool and refreshed at home while you're on the road. And if you do happen to see a pet in a car alone during the hot summer months, alert the management of the store where the car is parked. If the owner does not return promptly, call local animal control or the police department immediately. |
