Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast ☀️ Even in the shade, even with windows cracked. Dogs can’t cool themselves like humans do, which means heat exhaustion and heatstroke can happen in minutes. 🐾

⚠️ Watch for signs like:
Excessive panting
Dark red gums
Lethargy or weakness
Collapse or unresponsiveness

If you see a pet alone in a hot vehicle and are concerned for their welfare, contact local police right away or Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) at 1-833-9ANIMAL.

🐾 Happy Tails: Todd

Todd has settled beautifully into his forever home and is already thriving in his many important household roles: full-time bed thief, daytime work supervisor, master of the yellow chair, and professional window napper 💤

He’s also beginning introductions with his new little brother Louie (formerly Tango, also adopted from us!), and so far the two have been nothing but curious, playful, and excited to meet each other through the door 🏡

We’re so happy Todd is settling in with a family who already adores their precious prince 💙

🐾 Happy Tails: Astraea (formerly Mini Kitty)

Astraea has officially settled into her forever home alongside her feline siblings Eros and Demeter (Demi) 🏡 She is doing incredibly well across the board. She’s eating and drinking consistently, using her litter box reliably, and showing lots of confidence as she explores her new space.

Her energy levels are very high, with plenty of zoomies and playful bursts throughout the day, balanced out by strong cuddle skills and a clear love for lap time and affection 🧶 Her family is carefully supporting her introductions with scent swapping and shared spaces, and she’s adjusting beautifully to life with her new siblings.

We’re so happy Astraea has found such a loving home and is already thriving 💙

🐾 Happy Tails: Jack

This handsome guy just celebrated his 4th birthday this week 🥳 His adopter shared that he takes his modelling career very seriously, and honestly we can tell 📸

He also wanted to send hugs to all the animals still waiting for their forever homes 🏡

Meet Lilli 🌻

At 2 years old, Lilli is a sweetheart 🐾 She can be a little shy when meeting new people, preferring to take her time and ease into new friendships at her own pace.

But once she feels safe, the real Lilli shines through with playful zoomies, joyful bursts of energy, and then the sweetest dramatic flops right beside you when it’s time to relax ☀️ If you’re looking for a loyal companion with heart and a whole lot of sweetness, Lilli might just be your perfect match
