We’re recycling an old now that summer is here and it is HOT🥵☀️
Reminder to be cautious of temps for your pup! Keep in mind they have bare paws on walks and not to leave them in the car, even for 5 minutes!
☀️Both left hand side photos are the pavement- one in the shade and one in direct sun
☀️The picture on the right is our van after our patrol with the AC on full blast. The start temp of the van was 117! The temp climbed to 88 after being parked for 5 mins in full shade!
🔥FACT: Heatstroke in dogs can happen in as little as 15 mins!
🔥 Pavement can average 40-60 degrees higher than the air temp. If the air temp is over 80, asphalt can be hot enough to burn paws (and continue to progress signs of heatstroke)
🔥The average mortality rate for heatstroke in dogs is 50% and death usually occurs within 24 hours!!

🐾 Tuesday Tip from CT Dog Gone Recovery 🐾

🚨 FIRST THINGS TO DO IF YOUR DOG GOES MISSING 🚨

Losing a dog is every pet owner’s nightmare, but the actions you take in the first few hours can make a huge difference.

✅ Stay calm and act quickly.

Here are some important first steps:

📞 Contact Animal Control in your town and surrounding towns.

🔍 Do a quick search of the area and alert neighbors.

🚪 If your dog escaped from home and you have a fenced yard, leave the gate open so they can return.

⚡ Turn off any electric fence so your dog can safely come back.

🛏️ Place your dog’s bed, food, and water outside near where they went missing.

🌐 Complete a lost dog form at CTDGRV.org.

📱 Post on Neighbors by Ring, Nextdoor, and local community groups.

📢 Share your lost dog flyer on social media.

🐾 Contact your microchip company immediately if your dog is chipped.

📋 Get large posters up in the area where your dog was lost.

⚠️ Most Important Tip: If you see your dog, DO NOT call out to them. Many lost dogs are in survival mode and may run if approached. Instead:
• Stay calm
• Avoid direct eye contact
• Get low to the ground
• Use food, a favorite toy, or another familiar dog to encourage them to come closer

Remember: Every lost dog situation is different, and CT Dog Gone Recovery is here to help guide owners through the process.

🌟 Act Fast. Stay Calm. Stay Hopeful. 🌟
