Keep your furry friends safe!

It takes just over a minute to burn a dog's paws. Please don't put your pup at risk. Early morning or late day walks...on grass...are your best bet.

Always remember too that Maryland law states, “a person may not leave a cat or dog unattended in a standing or parked motor vehicle in a manner that endangers the health or safety of the cat or dog.” Let’s keep them all safe 🐾❤️
