Summer Heat + Dogs in Vehicles = Tragedy



The summer heat has finally arrived. I love summer....lounging in the window, basking in the sun, the cool breeze of the air conditioner....but the reality is that every single year...dogs die because they are left in vehicles in the hot sun.



Many people just don't realize how quickly the temperature can rise in a very short time inside a car. It's extremely dangerous...and more often than not...deadly.



If you see a dog in a car during the summer, even if the windows are rolled down a little, the situation can turn drastic in just a few minutes. Please do not walk away...monitor the situation and if the dog is in distress...please call your local shelter or police station. It literally could mean the difference between life and death.



This website has terrific information. Pass it on. The life you help save is worth it.

Milo-A Success Story



For 6 months, Milo lived at our shelter, waiting for the right family to come and fall in love with him. The staff and volunteers already loved him....we knew how incredible he was...and now...a whole family knows too!! Milo was adopted last week after spending almost 10 months in a shelter environment...4 months at the Saint John Animal Rescue League before coming to us.



We are so excited and proud and grateful all at the same time. Excited that Milo has graduated to a family of his own...proud that we had a part in helping him become the wonderful canine that he is today and grateful to his new family who were able to see exactly what we all saw...a dog with so much love to give to the people he loves!



It's moments like these that keep us all doing what we do...loving our job, caring for the animals who come to us, and knowing that we're making a difference.



Thank you to everyone who volunteers, donates, and adopts...because of you...dogs like Milo have happy endings too.
