It's doggone good information to know.
|
|
When it's 78-degrees and sunny, the temperature inside a parked car can rise  above 100 degrees in just a few minutes. On a 90-degree day, the interior temperature of a car will be as high as 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes. This summer, be an advocate for pets in cars. If you see a pet left in a car on a hot day, take down the vehicle information and license plate number and call emergency response teams immediately. Heatstroke in a pet will appear as restlessness, excessive thirst, thick saliva, panting, dark tongue, vomiting, or lack of coordination. If you see an animal in distress, get them into cooler conditions immediately and call your veterinarian. |
 Buffy and Birdie are moving on!The MCHA established a unique fund to support and help victims of abuse receive the medical care they need. The "Olivia Fund" has been actively serving to the benefit of animals since 1997. Just last month, two of our friends needed help from the Olivia fund. Birdie (pictured in the photo to the right, and is on the left) was lost as a stray, hit by a car, and never recovered by her family from Bloomington Animal Care and Control. Birdie's leg needed to be set and cared for to ensure her speedy recovery. Through the unique partnership with BACC, the Olivia fund from MCHA was able to pay the vet bills for Birdie while BACC worked to get Birdie into a foster home, and then quickly adopted on May 24th. Buffy was confiscated by Monroe County Animal Management and brought to BACC while her owner was prosecuted for neglect and abandonment. Unfortunately, when Buffy arrived, she was heartworm positive and in need of expensive medical treatment. Heartworms are a disease that can be fatal if not cared for properly. To help Buffy get on to her next home, treating this expensive disease would be crucial for her adoption. The Olivia fund and MCHA stepped up again to pay for Buffy's heartworm treatment and she was quickly adopted after her treatment was completed on April 17th. To learn more about the Olivia Fund and what MCHA can do with it, you can learn more here.
