The Arizona Humane Society is sharing essential pet safety tips ahead of the Fourth of July, which is the number one time of the year for pets to go missing. Fireworks and holiday parties can easily scare or distract pets, making it crucial for owners to ensure their animals are microchipped with updated information. Representatives recommend keeping pets in a safe, secure area with fresh water and utilizing distractions like a television or radio to drown out loud noises. The organization brought a kitty cat named Shakira, who was rescued three weeks ago as an injured stray in a Sunnyslope location. She received treatment at the trauma hospital for a head injury, full-body injuries, and a mass removal in her ear, and she is now fully recovered. Shakira represents one of the more than 28,000 sick, injured, and abused pets that the Arizona Humane Society cares for every single year. Additionally, a new city ordinance regarding animal tethering will go into effect in about 30 days. While the Arizona Humane Society recommends never tethering pets due to severe risks like tangling, they offer alternatives through their "Break the Chain" initiative at azhumane.org. The non-profit relies heavily on community support through adoption, fostering, volunteering, and donations to continue their life-saving work during the busy summer heat and extended kitten season.
