There are few things more pathetic than watching your fur baby want to play in the snow, but start limping/whimpering because the cold, crunchy snow hurts their paws.

We have domesticated dogs. They've been bred to be indoors, so we can't expect them to magically tolerate negative windchill...especially without a pack or den for warmth.

This is NOT weather to leave them outside or take long walks. Even huskies need a way to escape the cold if they want, and plastic containers or a tarp is NOT an escape.

PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEEEAAASE.🥺🙏🩷
Imagine your dog goes missing this weekend. The windchill puts the temps in the negative, snow covers the scent home, salt is in their paws and they’re scared and freezing. ❄️ 🥶
Dogs can get lost. We know that. But there are things you can do ahead of this storm, to not just help prevent your dog from going missing, but also increase your chances of being reunited.
1. If you don’t have their collar on - DO IT! Write your contact information on the inside.

2. Get your dog license! If you want it “in hand” ahead of the weather, go to your area Drug Mart or Pet Supplies Plus. $20.

3. Be outside with your dog when they are. Don’t give your dog a reason to wander off, be picked up by a good sam or stolen.

4. Go get your dog microchipped.

5. Minimize time outside! They’re even happier when cozied up with you.

We care so much about your dogs when they find their way here, but worry just as much about the dogs that might not find their way here. BE YOUR DOG’S HERO!
