❄️ COLD WEATHER IS COMING — PLEASE BRING PETS INSIDE ❄️
As temperatures drop across Missouri, outdoor animals are at serious risk. Freezing weather can become deadly in minutes — especially for dogs who are chained, elderly, small, sick, or exposed to wind and moisture.
At Mac’s Mission, we specialize in special — and every winter we see the heartbreaking results when animals are left outside with no protection.
🐾 Winter Safety Tips for Pets:
• Bring pets indoors whenever temperatures fall below 40°F
• Never rely on dog houses or straw alone — they are NOT enough
• Provide fresh, unfrozen water at all times
• Increase food intake for animals burning extra calories to stay warm
• Check paws for ice, salt, and cracking
• Watch for signs of hypothermia: shivering, lethargy, weakness
If you’re cold — they’re cold.
🚨 To report animal neglect in Missouri:

Please don’t look away. Be their voice when they don’t have one.
❤️ Mac’s Mission specializes in SPECIAL — and winter is when they need us most.
