June 22nd, 2009 by admin
The National Weather Service has issued heat advisory’s for most of Florida today. Temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees this afternoon across the state, from Miami to Orlando to Pensacola, and with the high humidity it will feel even warmer. To prevent heat exhaustion, or deadly heat stroke, animals should be provided with shelter from the sun and plenty of fresh water.
Commissioner Joe Sanchez, the Chairman of the City of Miami Commission, sent the following alert to city residents:
“I urge pet owners to please do everything possible to keep pets inside, and make sure they have plenty of water. If anyone sees a homeless animal, please provide them with water and temporary shelter if possible. Thank you for your compassion to all beings!”
Thank you commissioner!
