Within an hour after picking him Noon to 7:00 pm up, he was discarded and found by the side (adoptions end at 6:30 pm) of the road in medical distress.

Today, Rocky has made a full recovery, aside from a little tilt in his pets?

For example, on an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature can reach 120 degrees. Pets are in danger of heatstroke when the temperature reaches 110 degrees. On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than 30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal. “Pets, more so than humans, are susceptible to overheating,” said Mary Toy Poodle Shih Tzu Rupley, HSHV Veterinarian. “Dogs have sweat glands on their nose and pads of their feet, but these glands are inadequate for cooling during hot summer days. When dogs pant and drink water it helps them cool down, but if they only have overheated air to breathe, they can suffer brain damage and organ damage in as little as 15 minutes.” If you see an animal inside an unattended car during hot weather, try to locate the owner as quickly as possible.
