We have received several calls today about dogs left unattended in vehicles. Thankfully, none of these incidents resulted in injury, but this is an important reminder to all Calgarians about the danger of leaving animals alone in vehicles.
Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise to dangerous levels in minutes, putting animals at serious risk. A cracked window or water is no excuse & will not keep them safe.
🛑 If you love them, don’t leave them. Never leave an animal in a vehicle on a warm or hot day, even for a short time.
☎️ See an animal alone in a vehicle? Call 911 right away. Be ready to share your location & the vehicle’s licence plate, make/model & a brief description.
🗣️ You can also report concerns to the Calgary Humane Society at 403-205-4455.
