dangers of leaving animals in cars

Living in Florida, cars get extremely hot- especially in the long summers. As an animal lover, I always cringe at the thoughts of helpless animals being left in sweltering cars.

 

Here’s some ideas of what to do if you see an animal in distress:

  • take down the make, model, and license plate of the car, and notify nearby businesses so they can make an announcement on the speakers.
  • call the non- emergency number of local police or animal control
  • Educate yourself and others about local laws regarding animals left in cars

 

Are you an animal lover? Have you ever had to help save an animal in distress?
