☀️ Summer Safety Tips for Your Pets! 🐾
When the heat goes up, so does the risk for your furry friends. Help your pets beat the heat and stay safe all season long:

💧 Hydration is Key – Always provide plenty of clean, fresh water. Bring extra when heading out!
🌳 Shade, Not Sunburn – Make sure your pet has access to shaded areas. And yes—pets can get sunburned too!
🚗 No Hot Car Rides – Even a few minutes in a parked car can be deadly. Never leave pets in vehicles.
🏃‍♂️ Cooler Walks – Exercise during early mornings or evenings when the pavement isn’t scorching.
🧊 Chill Out – Cooling mats, frozen treats, and fans can make a big difference!
🐾 Paw Check – If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
🌊 Water Supervision – If your pet swims, always supervise and ensure they're safe around pools, lakes, or the ocean.
😎 Know the Signs of Overheating – Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or collapse mean it’s time to cool down immediately and contact your vet.

Let's make this summer a safe and tail-wagging one! 😎🐕🐈‍⬛🍉

Help Lost Pets This 4th of July!

Each Fourth of July, fireworks scare many pets into running away. Protect your pet by staying indoors with them during the show and making sure they’re wearing a collar and are microchipped. If you find a lost pet, you can help by taking the following steps:

*Check for ID tags and ask neighbors if they recognize the pet.
*Bring them to a shelter or veterinary clinic to check for a microchip.
*Take pictures and file a Found Report with Animal Services, upload a picture to Petco Love Lost, and post the pet to Lost Pets of SLO *County, Lost and Found Pets North SLO County, and Nextdoor.

🎆 Reminder! 4th of July is Coming up! 🎇
Fireworks may be festive for us—but for pets, they can be downright frightening! Help your furry family members stay safe and calm this Independence Day with these tips:

🐾 Keep Them Close – Stay home if you can, and keep pets indoors in a quiet, familiar space.
🏷️ Tag & Chip Check – Double-check that your pet is wearing a collar with an ID tag and that their microchip info is up-to-date—just in case they panic and bolt.
🔒 Secure the Home Front – Close windows, doors, and curtains to muffle the noise and block flashing lights.
📺 Soothing Sounds – Play the TV or some calming music to help drown out fireworks.
🍗 Treat Time – Toss high-value treats now and then to create a positive link with the noise (yes, snacks can be therapy!).
🧸 Comfort Tools – Thundershirts, calming wraps, or gentle techniques like the Tellington Touch can work wonders.
💊 Talk to Your Vet – If your pet has serious anxiety, speak with your vet ahead of time about anti-anxiety options.

Let’s keep the booms fun for us and boring for them. Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🐶🐱

Baby Season is well on its way in SLO County. We’ve seen a 50% increase in the number of puppies in need of shelter compared to last year, and this Kitten Season has started early, with the first newborns already in foster homes. And many more on their way!

Help Woods Humane Society provide supplies, temporary homes, and hands-on care for puppies and kittens in need this year.

You can get started by signing up for their Kitten Shower event THIS Sunday, April 6, 2025 from 12-2 p.m. to learn all about fostering, in person.

Can’t make it? Please consider donating today to help care for the many young pups and kits coming our way. These precious babes often require extra medical treatments, specialized shelter protocols, vaccines, and weeks of round-the-clock foster care before they are available for adoption. With your support, we can save more lives this Baby Season.
