Heat safety advice for you and your pets

Attention hikers who hike with their little buddies! Pets can die very quickly while hiking in the heat, so please take this advice from K9 “Viper” of :

Keep us trim and fit. If your dog is older or out of shape, leave the dog home.

Bring tons of extra water. Most of the people we encounter have insufficient fluids for themselves, let alone their dogs.
Hike with us only in the early morning or evening hours if temps are cooler.

We dehydrate very fast and can succumb to heat stroke within minutes. Since we can’t talk, you won’t know until it’s too late. We don’t have to be hiking long before things go bad.
Take frequent breaks in the shade to rest and hydrate us.

Watch us for signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, curled tongue at the end, drooling, a dazed look, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, bright red eyes/gums, refusal to walk further, collapse, or shaking.

Check our paw pads during the hike. We tend to get burned pads, thorns, pebbles and other painful obstructions.

Don’t hike with us mid-day.

Don’t hike in areas with foxtails, goatheads or stickers.

Don’t take out short snouted dogs in the heat.

Don’t ever leave us in a car. It becomes an oven.

Call 911 immediately when you see that we aren’t feeling well. If you are close to a trailhead, carry the dog out. Actively cool them with wet towels and fanning and get them water to drink and into an air conditioned vehicle.

Delays result in death so quickly. We know you love us but it’s best to leave us home when you hike in temps over 75 degrees or on high humidity days. .

🐾 Update: Thumbelina's Happy Ending 🐾

Meet Thumbelina 💜 This sweet 10-year-old kitty got her name because she has an extra toe, making her just a little extra special.

When Thumbelina suddenly began urinating blood, her owner was terrified. She knew something was wrong but simply couldn't afford the veterinary care her beloved cat desperately needed.

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, Comanche County Pet Resource Foundation was able to step in and help cover the veterinary care Thumbelina needed. Today, we're so happy to report that she's feeling so much better and is back to being her happy, comfortable self!

❤️ This is exactly why your donations matter.

Every dollar given helps families facing impossible choices keep their beloved pets healthy and at home where they belong. Behind every donation is a pet like Thumbelina—a cherished family member who just needed a helping hand.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission. You are making stories like Thumbelina's possible.

🐾 If you'd like to help us continue assisting pets in need throughout our community, please consider making a donation or sharing our mission. Together, we can keep more families and their pets together.

Adopting a new furry friend is such a joy, but it takes more than love to add to your family. If you can't open your home, help someone else have all they need. We accept donations of collars, leashes, bowls, crates, blankets, toys, puppy pads, and any item a new addition to a household might need. Thank you for your support!

Thinking about adopting a dog? 🐶❤️ Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule can help set realistic expectations and build a strong foundation for your new best friend.

🏡 First 3 Days – "I'm overwhelmed." Your dog may be scared, shut down, or unsure of their new surroundings. They may: • Hide or sleep a lot. • Refuse food. • Have accidents in the house. • Be nervous or clingy.

💡 How to help: Keep things calm, give them a safe space, stick to a routine, and don't overwhelm them with visitors or outings.

🐾 First 3 Weeks – "I'm getting comfortable." As your dog settles in, you may start seeing their true personality. This is also when some challenges appear: • Jumping or barking. • Pulling on the leash. • Chewing or getting into things. • Testing boundaries. • Separation anxiety when left alone.

💡 How to help: Stay consistent with rules, reward the behaviors you want, provide plenty of exercise and mental enrichment, and start positive reinforcement training early.

❤️ First 3 Months – "This is home." Your dog is building trust and becoming part of the family, but they may still struggle with: • Resource guarding. • Fear of certain people, dogs, or situations. • Reactivity on walks. • Difficulty being left alone. • Inconsistent obedience as they continue learning.

💡 How to help: Continue training, be patient, manage situations that overwhelm your dog, and don't be afraid to ask a qualified trainer for help before small issues become bigger ones.

✨ The most important thing to remember: Every dog is different. Some adjust in a few weeks, while others may need six months or even longer. Progress isn't always linear, and setbacks are normal.

The greatest gift you can give an adopted dog is patience, consistency, and compassion. ❤️
