Summer’s almost here! Temperatures are rising and it’s starting to get pretty toasty outside.
While you or your family might be tempted to let your dog tag along with you while you run some quick errands, it’s much safer to leave your dog at home.

peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

in fact, i never have one of them in my house, but i’m a kitten lovers. never put them inside the bag or car (i don’t have any car). what a pity if someone put them on a hotty-hot car…

I take my kitty everywhere, and I ALWAYS have fresh COLD water in the car, I leave the windows down as much as possible and I have a little battery powered fan in the back for him. He loves it (:
But a lot of people are extremely irresponsible about taking their pets with them, I wish they all knew how dangerous it is =/

I don’t know if anyone heard this but down here in Alabama, a police officer left his K9 partner in a hot vehicle and the dog ended up being found dead.
Hot cars ARE death traps.

I just did something about this yesterday! some person left two dogs in their little white car, so i wrote a note and stuck it on their windshield. hopefully they get that they can’t leave their dogs in the car. it isn’t okay, and it’s so dangerous.

Write to your local papers and ask them to warn their readers about leaving dogs in hot cars!
