Please don't leave your dog in the car!
We've been seeing quite a few dogs left in cars in the JCC parking lot. Now that the weather's getting warmer, we wanted to remind everyone of the danger of leaving a dog in a hot car. Even when the weather is not that hot outside, the inside of your car can quickly warm up to a temperature that can injure or kill your pet. Please be careful and keep your pet safe this summer!
