More pets are lost on July 4th than any other day of the year. Fireworks scare pets. Please take a moment and plan ahead. Where will your pet be on July 4th? Please keep pets inside. If you are having company, make arrangements to keep your pet calm and comfortable in a safe place. Please double check your pet’s ID tag. Are the address and phone number current? Have the letters become worn and illegible? July 5th is the worst day for animal shelters as they are overflowing with terrified animals who flee out of sheer terror.
