☀️🐾 KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS WEEK IN THE SUMMER HEAT! 🐾☀️
Hot weather can be dangerous for our four-legged friends. A few simple precautions can help keep them comfortable, healthy, and safe! 💛
🚗 Never leave your dog in a parked car — temperatures can become dangerous within minutes.
🐾 Check the pavement before walks. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Choose grassy areas instead!
🌅 Walk during cooler hours — early morning or late evening is best.
💧 Keep fresh, cool water available at all times, and bring water along on walks.
🐶 Watch vulnerable pets — flat-faced breeds, senior dogs, and overweight pets can overheat more quickly.
Let’s keep those tails wagging and our furry friends cool, safe & happy! 💛🐕

Charlie says, “The advantages of being short…” 😂🐾
When you’re just the right height to turn the underneath of the cabinet into your own personal back scratcher! 🤣
Who needs someone to scratch your back when you can do it yourself?! ❤️🐶

“My dog never gets loose.”
“My dog is never outside by themselves.”
“I don’t see why I need to microchip.”
I hear these things all the time. And I understand—until the unexpected happens.
Let me tell you from personal experience: accidents DO happen, and some dogs are professional escape artists!
All it takes is five minutes. You step inside to answer the phone, grab something, or get distracted for just a moment…and suddenly, your dog is gone.
Today, it happened to me.
For the second time in just a few months, my precious Mercedes escaped. 🐾❤️
The first time, she climbed onto the deck railing, got on top of a container, and somehow managed to jump over the fence.
Today? She CLIMBED the fence. 🤦♀️ Apparently, Mercedes has decided fences are merely suggestions.
There is no feeling quite like getting that call and making that helpless drive from my office to my home, wondering where she is and if she’s safe. Every terrible possibility runs through your mind. My heart rate monitor kept going off because I was so worried.
Thankfully, I have some absolutely wonderful neighbors and friends who immediately jumped in to help search. Within an hour, we found Mercedes and got her safely back home. ❤️🙏
Thank you to EVERYONE who helped look for my girl. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.
And yes—Mercedes is microchipped.
That’s exactly why I preach about microchips so much. You can be the most responsible pet owner in the world. You can have a fenced yard. You can supervise your animals. You can think, “My dog would never get out.”
Until they do.
Microchip your pets. Keep your contact information updated. And never assume it can’t happen to you—because today, it happened to me.
Now if you’ll excuse me, Mercedes and I need to have a serious conversation about her new career as an escape artist. 😂🐾❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

A simple walk can mean the world to a shelter pup. 💛
Tomorrow is Walking Wednesday at EACC Shelter from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM!
Our dogs are eagerly awaiting some extra fresh air, tail wags, and friendly faces while they search for their forever families. Every walk helps them feel cherished and cared for.
Come spend some time with us tomorrow—we can’t wait to see you! 🐾✨
