Cold weather alert: keep your pets

The temperatures are dropping quickly, and it’s time to be sure your pets are well protected from the elements. And keep an eye out for other animals whose need for shelter and warmth may be deserted during this time. Thank you to Orange County Animal Services for providing us with this vital information:


“In addition to these tips, we advise citizens to report chained dogs that are not provided with sufficient shelter for the cold weather,” said Dil Luther, Assistant Manager of Orange County Animal Services. “It is against Orange County Code to leave dogs chained outside during stormy weather as well as between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Chained dogs are at high-risk for suffering the effects of cold weather for long periods of time.”
