What to do about dogs left in cars?
What is wrong with people? I work in a little craft shop. Some people just came in to do a project that could take up to 2 hours. They left 2 dogs in their car with the windows just cracked. I offered (at the risk of my job) to have her bring the dogs inside. She said no, they are fine and they get pampered at home. I can see the poor guys sitting there with the sun shining on them. I want to strangle this *****. What is the proper thing to do?
Answers:
In many places this is considered animal cruelty and you can call the police. There was a woman where I live who is getting 90 days in jail for leaving a cat inside her car for three days. Last year this same woman killed her dog by leaving it in a hot car. If the animals appear to be suffering, it is considered cruelty and the cops will intervene to either force the owners to remove the dogs or break a window if the owners can't be found.
Do the dogs appear to be in distress? If so, call the police or local humane society. If not, they are probably fine.
Tell them straight you'll call the police if they don't open up and let the dogs breathe!
Responsible dog owner
Call animal control for the area the shop is in. You tried to talk to the owner, but you cannot help her/their ignorance!
Call he police or the animal control!But I don't know what all they can do about it! Good luck! And that person is an idiot!!
as long as air can get in and the temperature isnt over 20 degrees they should be ok, although she should have checked on them and given them water at intervals
Call your local animal control or the police.
call the authorities
Next time they do it, remove yourself from the same room and call the police on your cell phone and tell them you want to remain anonymous - tell them you were driving by and saw the dogs in the windows. let them handle it. If the dogs would die, and you didn't do anything to stop it, aren't you also responsible at least in Gods eyes. Take action for the dogs sakes
The best thing is write down the license plate number as well as the car make and contact the police. They also handle cruelty to animal issues.
Report to the animal welfare people or the police
The dogs were probably fine as long as it wasn't too hot. I take my dog with me everywhere I can. You never know she might have had water for them in the car. Atleast she left the windows cracked.
Call the police they can do them for it now.
u must call the police, the police will do the necersarry thing and if the owner of the car is not around the police have the powers to break into the car and rescue the dog, then the owner faces serious fines and possible jail sentences, so call the police, ..i would everytime !
Call the police and have them look into it. There are animal cruelty laws.
phone the rspca
In a situation like this you can call 911. This is an emergency. The dispatchers can call the animal control division and they should respond immediately. The citation (quite a hefty one I might add) should motivate the owner to leave the dogs home when she is going out. In most states it is illegal to leave a pet in that type of environment. This has been done at my place of work.
Is it really hot where you are at? or is the temp ok for them to be in the car? If it too hot and there is a possibility they could die of heat then you could call the Humane Society. If it is cool outside the dogs are probably fine.
Call the Humane Society; they will make sure the dogs are not in danger, and if they are, they will take measures to get the dogs out.
talk 2 em and if they dont listen call rspca they shud get sum1 2 look after there dog not leabe em in cars there poster up saying dogs die in cars
You could use some kind of SPCA-style spiel or slogan on her, like jokingly quip, "Dogs die in hot cars, don't you know" and then laugh. Or you could say something like "If the SPCA/Dogs Protection League saw that, they'd have you," again punctuating the humour with ditzy laughter. This usually works for me, people don't know if I'm joking or not and then it needles their brain. Bwahaha.
Alternatively, offer to get the dogs a drink of water, at least they get to hop out and stretch their legs.
call the police
the proper thing to do is let the owners of the outcome if they leave them in the hot car even though the windows maybe cracked open, but a car can get at least 15-20 degrees hotter inside than outside. if that does not work and they leave them in the car then you will have no choice but to call animal control and let them know that some people left their dogs in a hot car and that the dogs don't have any water. good luck
Hi,,, what you might want to do ,,, is to download some info on how hot it gets in the cars .. i think it is like 110 in no time flat..
Or sneek and call the police,, have them come talk to the people,,
In some states it is a hefty fine to do that,,,,
Good luck
you know somethi;ng .it is sad to hear this ..sometimes though you have to remember this maybe they cant leave the dogs at home for fear they will tear the place up..i think as long as the window is down for them to breath,and they come out every 15 minutes to give them water and check on them its ok..i know i sound dumb but they probably have done it before and found the dogs can handle a few hours.. i wouldnt do it unless i absolutely had no choice..foxi
well I think you are going to be in a store that and you don't have anyone to watch me personally you shouldn't because any thing can happen so I suggest that that you if you have small dog you should it in a dog purse but some restaurants don't let you do that I would take my food to-go
Call the police or animal control. Depending on what area you're in- animal control can issue tickets.
Personally (I would never advise this), but if that lady was being such a b**** about her "dog being pampered at home"- I would break her window to let the dog breathe. I can't buy that this dog is "pampered" unless she thinks torture is pampering. I'd have told her you can't pamper a dog if it died from heat exhaustion in your stupid (luxury no doubt) car because you wanted to do a craft in a store- leave the damn dog at home or give it to someone that will truly love it!
But that's just me- I hate ignorance and especially involving animals and kids that really can't defend themselves from stupid owners/parents.
Call animal control, you don't need to tell her it was you, just call the and explain what she's doing and that she has actually said it's OK. they'll take the animals from her.
You can call the RSPCA.

I would call the cops! I would never ever leave my dog in a hot car with the windows cracked for any amount of time. I have gone in the store only to stay maybe ten minutes and come back and the temperature will be 112 sometimes. That lady must be insane.
Those people anger me too. My advice is call your local Humane Society. They can best tell you what to do. If there isn't one near you, call the police. It may seem silly considering all they have to do, but you may save an animals life.
Hope that helps
I have 2 old english sheepdogs who love to go in the car but i wont let them when its hot and sunny . I got a great dog sign off ebay, it shows an o.e.s and says in big red letters ---'' for dogs sake, dont let them bake, 15 minutes is all it takes.'' for a dog to die from heat stroke. I've had a lot of people remark on it, and it reminds other people who may be tempted to leave their dogs in a car, NOT TO, maybe one in the shop window would do the trick for you. Its a suttle hint, make sure she sees it, if that doesn't work then report her, she does not deserve to have animals.
