How many times have you been out running errands and seen a dog left panting in the backseat of a car?
An animal confined to a vehicle in hot weather is an emergency. If you see one, please follow these lifesaving steps:
Help spread the word about how dangerous it is to keep dogs trapped in cars by printing out some of our “Don’t Let Your Dog Get Hot Under the Collar” leaflets here!

I’ll definitely be doing this when I go out today.
It reminds me of a couple months ago when me and some friends were on our way down to tan I saw a dog left in the car and it was way too hot. I could hear it whimpering and wining. I went inside a store for a drink hoping the car would be gone when I came out but it was still there with the dog inside. The window was barely cracked, so I went looking for probably a half hour or so looking for a police officer to tell him what had happened. In some states it is considered illegal, I think Peta should start some sort of petition to start spreading this law to other states

today we are known as more civilized and known as 21 century being. as we are becoming civilized our activities are uncivilized and inhumane. how much greedy persons are. greediness is not bad but not on the cast of others lives. every where and every walk of life we are turning ourselves cruel.now the cruelity is known as humanity. we are fighting for the stomach and the innocent animals are fighting for existence,is there any limit? for the sake of money, investigations, pleasure and entertainment we are killing the innocents, why? we are so weak and timid so we are showing our power on innocents , they are diminishing, toward ending and now many many species are disappeared. it is not a alarming sign. whohas given power to kill them. it is a heinous crime and should be treated as a criminals and must be behind the bars. but there are clandestine nexus there. local state and central authorities with the support of police, vete, doctors, businessmen, suppliers, and the users are all known as accused. we people those are interested to save them are alike poor. it is an alarming sign. when it will be stopped. to follow the paths of nonviolence, vegetarianism, animal protection and keep sympathies with them like our family members as wife, children, mother, father, sisters and brothers,god will bless to all those are serving for them and god will punish them those are killing them positively.

I gave these out at a Jewel- Osco parking lot one day. People said thank you and read them. I also put them on car windows when I saw a dog in the car. It felt great to do that.

As soon as I get more ink for my printer I’m printing out a bunch! I find it absolutely disgusting how many dogs you see left in cars during summer heat waves. People wouldn’t leave their babies in there, so why is it okay to leave their animal babies?

Sadly leaving babies/ children isn’t uncommon. Parents will run into the store ‘real quick’ or better yet they will forget them in the backseat. The way I see if YOU wouldn’t want to be left in a hot car why would you leave any LIVING thing in there.
