A Friendly Reminder About Fireworks and Furry Friends

Fireworks are a popular part of many July 4 events, including the city's Red, White and Boom on Thursday, July 3, but don't forget those who may not find it so popular - your pets!

Please remember to secure your pets inside during this weekend's holiday festivities as many are often frightened by fireworks and can run away if not secured. Since July 4 falls on a Friday, fireworks may continue into the weekend, so be mindful of keeping an eye on pets throughout the weekend. Be mindful of the heat, as well, by providing a cool and comfortable place for them during peak hours of heating and provide cool, fresh water for them to drink.

Thank you for doing your part to ensure a safe and happy Independence Day for all of our citizens - four-legged and two-legged!
