A community member found Sam tied up next to a sign that read free. They called the City of Carlsbad PD, whose officers responded and stayed by his side until our HLE team arrived. Thank you to the Carlsbad PD for looking out for our community including the four-legged members!

Never leave your pet in a parked vehicle. Even with the windows open, a parked car can become deadly within minutes. If the temperature outside is 80 degrees, the temperature inside your car can quickly climb to 120 degrees. sdhumane.org/heatsafety.
As temperatures climb across San Diego, remember to keep pets safe & cool. Walk early before pavement heats up, ensure constant access to fresh water & shade, and never leave pets in a parked car. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them! More at sdhumane.org/heatsafety
