Keep Your Pets Safe – Fireworks Can Be Stressful!

Here are 5 simple ways to protect your furry family members:

1. Plan ahead: Walk and exercise pets early before festivities begin.

2. Keep them secure: Check fences, doors, and other escape routes.

3. Update Identification: Make sure collars, tags, and microchip info are current.

4. Minimize noise: Use a fan, TV, or white noise to help mask sounds.

5. Settle in: Stay close if you can — your calm presence helps more than you know.

Think pet licensing is just another fee? Think again.

Licensing your pet is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can do- for your pet, your wallet, and your community. Here’s why it matters:

✔️ It’s the law. And the small license fee is far less than the fine for not complying.
✔️ It protects your pet. A license with DocuPet’s HomeSafe® 24/7 Lost Pet Service gives your furry friend the best chance of making it home fast if they ever get lost.
✔️ It keeps shelters open for animals truly in need. When licensed pets are easily identified and quickly reunited with their families, they don’t take up valuable space in shelters.
✔️ It gives hope to homeless pets. Every open kennel means a chance for a dog or cat still waiting for their forever family.

The City of Fremont has a new pet licensing system powered by DocuPet, making it easier than ever to license your pet online and access life-saving benefits.

Now is the perfect time to act:

- No late fees until September 1, 2025
- $5 off any designer license tag with promo code WELCOME5

Because a license isn’t just a tag, it’s their ticket home.

All Fireworks Are Illegal in Fremont – What You Need To Know

All fireworks are banned in the City of Fremont, including those labeled as “safe and sane.” This ban, in place since 1986, has helped reduce injuries, wildland fires, and structure fires caused by fireworks.

Fremont Police and Fremont Fire will be actively patrolling during peak times to monitor fireworks use and reduce fire risk, especially along the hillsides. Possession or use of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor in California, punishable by fines ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 or by imprisonment in a state prison or county jail. In some cases, it may be charged as a felony. Parents can also be held liable for damages or injuries caused by their children.

Due to an anticipated high call volume during the holiday, please only dial 911 for a true or potential emergency. To report a non-emergency, please call (510) 790-6800, option 3.

From 4:00 PM on July 4 through 2:00 AM on July 5, community members are encouraged to report illegal firework activities via the Fremont App. Reports with specific details such as address, description, and potential safety hazards will receive higher priority. For details on how to download the app and for more info please visit: fremontpolice.gov/fireworks

We love the adoption updates! "We adopted Kirby on 5/31/25 and he is settling in great. He loves playing in the yard, taking walks, and cuddling with us on the couch. His is gaining more confidence everyday as he settles in, taking in all the new sights and sounds in our home and around our neighborhood. People stop and tell me how cute our dog is when I walk him! I agree.

Thank you for rescuing Kirby from the streets of Fremont and placing him for adoption in your facility.

Warm regards,

Sandy and Luis "

Fremont has a new pet licensing system, and it's built to bring pets home! Every day, pets go missing but getting them back home is much easier when they’re licensed. That’s why the City of Fremont has launched a new, upgraded pet licensing system in partnership with DocuPet.

Now, every license tag includes access to HomeSafe®, DocuPet’s 24/7 Lost Pet Service. Each tag is etched with a unique HomeSafe® code that allows anyone who finds your pet to alert a dedicated dispatch team any time, day or night.

Your pet’s tag also connects to their secure online profile, which can include:

-Care instructions
-Medical information
-Veterinary and emergency contacts
-And more

This powerful system helps reunite families faster and ensures lost pets get the care they need while they wait to come home.

Bonus: All late fees are waived until September 1, 2025, so now’s the perfect time to get current AND to celebrate the launch, DocuPet is offering $5 off a designer license tag of your choice when you use promo code WELCOME5 at checkout.
