Dogs being left in hot vehicles
As summer weather arrives, so do reports of people leaving dogs in hot vehicles.
City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services reports it is getting regular phone calls about dogs being left in hot vehicles.
“It is extremely important that pets are not left inside vehicles for any reason,” asks the city and BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch in a press release.
If you see a dog left in a vehicle, please contact the BC SPCA hotline at 1-855-622-7722.
Although the SPCA does not have the authority to remove pets from vehicles, they will attend the scene and contact the RCMP if the dog is in critical distress. The RCMP is the only body that can remove pets from vehicles.
“Take good care of your dog; please do not leave them in your vehicle for any reason,” the city and BCSPCA ask.
