persian cat notecard by dj geribo at help shelter pets detail imageIn the Northeast United States where I live, it gets very cold in the winter months, January and February in particular. For some odd reason, some people think that just because their dog or cat has fur, that they can withstand any temperature, no matter how cold it gets. This is simply not true and if they decide to leave their pets out in this frigid weather, they will soon discover the dire consequence of committing such a crime: their animals will freeze to death.

This is a gentle reminder that if you are cold your pet is cold, too. Bring them indoors. If you do not allow dogs or cats in your house (and personally, I have to wonder why someone would have a dog or cat if they didn't allow them in the house since they are members of your family) at least have a warm place for them in your basement or a shed where they can get out of the frigid temperatures.
