Even though it seems cool to humans during a 70-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 120 degrees in minutes, even in the shade.

Even if you think leaving a dog for “just a minute” to run an errand inside is ok, unfortunately, it can lead to heatstroke or even death.

These situations are entirely preventable though!

If You See a Dog Left in a Car …

Take down the car’s color, model, make, and license-plate number.
Have the owner paged in nearby stores, and call local humane authorities or the local police.
Have someone keep an eye on the dog.
If the police are unresponsive or take too long to arrive and the dog’s life appears to be in imminent danger, find a witness (or several) who will back your assessment.
Take steps to remove the suffering animal, and then wait for the authorities to arrive.

Help spread the word!
