PLEASE BRING YOUR ANIMALS INDOORS
DURING THIS FREEZING WEATHER!!! They feel the cold
just as you would, if you were outside with no warm
place to huddle. This kind of cold is miserably painful
to have to endure....and there is no reason
they HAVE to endure it.
Baytown Humane Society has a
very limited number of doghouses that
have been donated and we would like to see them go to
animals who have the misfortune of being relegated to
the outdoors. If your dog needs a warm place or if you
know where there is a dog who has no shelter from this
frigid weather; please email us (
baccr1@aol.com ) to see if we
still have a house available for that animal.
Using hay in a doghouse or even in
a wind-protected corner for your dog to lay on helps
insulate them against the cold much better than blankets
or towels. Be generous with the hay so they can make a
nest, being sure there is some barrier between them and
the ground, even if it is a thick covering of newspaper
with hay over that. An entire bail of hay isn't
expensive and can be used over several months, regularly
pulling out the old and putting in fresh. PLEASE don't
make them suffer!!! Providing even just this little
bit will mean so much to a shivering body!
Also, heating their food a little will help ward off the
chill from inside out. Please think about your
pets!! They aren't wolves... they depend on You
to keep them safe and warm!! Please don't let them
down!
