Did you know that more pets run away around the 4th of July than any other holiday? Fireworks can be very loud and confusing for animals, especially dogs, and many get so scared they run away from home without thinking where they're going. When a volunteer with Hope For Paws got a call that a homeless dog was shivering on the side of the road during a fireworks display, he rushed over to help her, calming her during the noise and calling her Lola. Eventually, Lola was taken to a shelter and is now ready for adoption!
If you're going to be around fire works this holiday weekend, please remember your animals! Keep them inside, keep them calm, and let them know that everything is okay while fireworks are going on.
Please SHARE this reminder for a happy, calm 4th of July – for you and your pets!
