“Cars are one of many hazards to small animals—warm engines in parked cars attract cats and small wildlife, who may crawl up under the hood,” says The Humane Society of the United States.

“To avoid injuring any hidden animals, bang on your car's hood to scare them away before starting your engine."

See something, say something

"If you encounter a pet left in the cold, politely let the owner know you're concerned."

"It can be a crime to leave pets outside in extreme temperatures without food and shelter,” adds The Humane Society of the United States.

Emergencies, like natural disasters or unexpected home crises, may require a quick evacuation. Being prepared helps the family, including pets.

A “go” bag “...is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency,” per Ready.gov.

Important pet items to include, per VCA Animal Hospitals:

A collar with updated information
Your pet’s veterinarian information
A leash, harness, and carrier
Bowls and at least two weeks worth of food
At least two weeks worth of medication
Bags to collect pet waste
Bedding and comfort toys

“Microchips are great for permanent identification that is tamper-proof, but nothing replaces a collar with up-to-date identification tags,” says American Veterinary Medical Association.

On Jan. 9, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed into law a bill making cat declawing illegal in the state.

"Declawing includes surgical onychectomy, digital flexor tendonectomy, and generalized phalangectomy for non-medical reasons," says @vca.

It's a procedure animal rights advocates call inhumane.

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – Angell Animal Medical Center (MSPCA-Angell) describes the procedure as "an amputation comparable to the removal of all ten human fingertips at the first knuckle," per @CBS reporting.

The need to sniff 🐕

“We humans simply don't see the world from an olfactory point of view: we not only can't smell all that a dog can, we simply aren't interested in smells in the same way,” says @petmed.

“So even though we now know that dogs need exercise and socialization, it's taken longer for us to even see that they need to sniff.”

Shelters often vaccinate, microchip, and neuter/spay pets before they’re adopted.

Also, shelter-led foster systems help train dogs before they’re adopted.

Pets are more sensitive to loud noises, according to @humanesociety.

While many people enjoy July 4 celebrations, including fireworks, pets would rather stay home.

And they’re safer at home, too.

April 30 is #nationaladoptashelterpetday 🥰

Mar was adopted in 2015. He’s happy, healthy, and very loved 🐈‍⬛

Did you know that “According to the latest research and data, every year over 6.5 million dogs, cats, and other household pets are surrendered to animal shelters,” says World Animal Foundation.

Here are five great reasons to adopt, per @HumaneSociety:

1. If you adopt, you’ll save a life
2. When you adopt, you get a healthy pet
3. Adopting will save you money
4. Adopting a pet will make you feel better
5. If you adopt, you won’t be supporting puppy mills and pet stores

”An eartip is the universally recognized symbol of a cat who has been spayed or neutered and vaccinated,” says @alleycatallies.

“Eartipping is a standard part of most Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, because it’s simply the best method to let everyone know at a glance that a cat has gone through a TNR program,” adds @alleycatallies.
