❤️ PET OF THE WEEK ❤️

Metro

He was left tied to a tree and walked away from… but he didn’t let that become who he is.

Instead, he kept his heart open.

Every person he meets gets the same gift: a soft tail wag, gentle eyes, and a quiet hope that this might be his person. He doesn’t demand love, he offers it first.

That’s what makes him unforgettable.

He’s not just friendly… he’s forgiving. Not just sweet… but still believing in people after everything.

Now he’s waiting for something different than what he’s known before.

A home. A chance. A person who won’t walk away.

He’s already chosen love. He just needs someone to choose him. ❤️🐾

Because of adopters, fosters, volunteers, rescue partners, and supporters like you, 14 shelter pets were given a second chance this week! ❤️

Every adoption, rescue, and foster placement helps create space and hope for the next animal in need. Thank you for being part of their journey and helping us make a difference, one life at a time.

Here’s to celebrating 14 lives saved and many more to come! 🐶🐱✨

🌡🔥 The temperature is rising like a wildfire! 🥵

🕶 Ensure your pets stay cool this summer! Learn to recognize the signs of heat stroke in dogs and take steps to keep them safe. ☂️

☀️ In addition to heat stroke, dogs and cats can suffer painful paw burns from walking on scorching concrete and asphalt. 🔥

🐕 Be sure to walk your furry friend during cooler times of the day, such as early morning before 9:00 a.m. or in the evening. Avoid midday walks when pavement temperatures can become dangerously hot. 🐾

💧🏠 Remember, under City Ordinance 10-1061 (Humane Treatment), pet owners are required to provide animals with adequate food, clean water, proper shelter, and protection from inclement weather, including extreme heat.

🐾 A few simple precautions can make all the difference and help keep your pets safe, healthy, and comfortable all summer long. ❤️
