☀️ Texas heat can turn dangerous for pets FAST. 🐾

Heat stroke is a serious emergency — and pets can overheat in just minutes, even on a “quick trip” or short walk. If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! 🔥

Watch for signs like:
🐶 Excessive panting
💧 Drooling
😴 Weakness or lethargy
🤢 Vomiting
❤️ Rapid heartbeat

Keep your pets safe this summer:
✔️ Provide plenty of fresh water
✔️ Walk during cooler hours
✔️ Keep pets in the shade
✔️ NEVER leave pets in parked cars

At Alvin Animal Clinic, we’re here to help keep your furry family members safe, healthy, and cool all season long. 💙

📞 If you think your pet may be experiencing heat stroke, contact us immediately.

🏷️ One tiny chip can make a lifetime of difference. 🐾

If your pet ever gets lost, a microchip can help bring them safely back home where they belong. Unlike collars or tags, a microchip is permanent, safe, and always with them.

At Alvin Animal Clinic, we believe peace of mind starts with protection. 💙

🐶 Quick • Safe • Affordable
🐱 Permanent identification
🏠 Better chance of being reunited with your pet

Because they’re family — and family should always find their way home. 🐾

📅 Ask us about microchipping at your pet’s next visit!

🐾💔 CHA CHA’S STORY 💔🐾
There’s a little kitty sitting quietly in our shelter right now… and her whole world just changed.
Cha Cha is only 3 years old.
She had a home. She had a mom who loved her.
Her mom made sure she was taken care of—
spayed ✔️
vaccinated ✔️
safe ✔️
But then… her mom passed away.
And just like that, everything Cha Cha knew disappeared.
Now she sits in her kennel with her tiny face pressed into the back of a box… trying to hide from a world that suddenly feels big, loud, and unfamiliar.
She’s not mean.
She’s not “shut down.”
She’s grieving.
And she’s scared.
We’re moving her into our colony room so she can have a softer space… somewhere our staff and volunteers can sit with her, talk to her, remind her that she’s still safe… that she’s still loved.
But what she really needs… is a home.
A quiet place.
A gentle voice.
Someone patient enough to let her come out of that box when she’s ready.
Even a foster home could change everything for her right now.
Because behind that scared little face…
is a sweet girl who has already known love once.
And she deserves to feel that again. 💙
👉 If you can foster or adopt Cha Cha, please come meet her.
👉 If you can’t, please share her story—because that’s how her person finds her.
