DON'T FORGET THE PETS!
Our Animal Control officers have a special request:
As you prepare for forecasted snow and very low temperatures, please don't forget to protect your pets and check with relatives, neighbors, friends and associates, etc., to make sure they do same and give them a helping hand where needed.
Plan to bring pets inside if you can.
If you can't, make sure they have adequate shelter, food and fresh water. Line outdoor houses/shelters with straw, which is better able to shed moisture, to help keep them warm.
