During the six month project, almost 175 coupons were used to obtain free pet sterilizations. When more residents learn and understand the benefits of pet sterilization, the more the animals benefit too. We conservatively estimate that the use of the sterilization coupons prevented the addition of over 600 puppies and kittens to the already crisis proportion of pet overpopulation and unwanted animals. Donations to the animal shelter are tax deductible . I would like to thank Animal Tales for the opportunity to publish an article on one of my favorite subjects . . .
Summer is a wonderful season to have a pet, but it is important owners be aware of certain hazards.
Overheating . . . Please don't leave your pet unattended in your car while you go shopping. The temperature in an unventilated car parked in the sun can soar to over 100 degrees in under five minutes. If you have to leave them for a short time, roll down all the windows at least one inch and be sure to park in a shaded area. Your backyard may also be a potential hot spot.
