Dogs and Fireworks Don't Mix
The number of missing pets skyrocket July 4 - 6
This article is 7 years old. It was published on July 1, 2018.
According to the American Humane Association, July 5th is the busiest day of the year at animal shelters, as companion animals that fled in fright the night before are found miles from their homes, disoriented and exhausted. Anxious families find themselves searching the streets and shelters looking for a treasured family member whose fear drove him to jump a high fence or break his leash or chain.
With their sensitive hearing, many pets panic at the intense noise of fireworks. Please keep your pets safe this 4th of July holiday by placing them in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area at home.
