Keep all animals inside for the next few days in this cold! Report any outside animals!

Animals left outside for even a few minutes can get frostbite in temperatures that we will see in the next four or five days! If you see any animals left outside, please call the police or sheriff and tell them that you have a health and welfare request to check on an animal that is possibly in distress. Tell them you want a call back too. That way you will know whether they go to check and what the outcome was. Check on local pets and keep an eye out while driving.
