Pets not immune to cold (or hot) temps

Another big problem for dogs is people who assume since they have fur coats they can live outdoors without suffering the affects of harsh weather, both cold and hot.  Chaining dogs to a shady tree in summer or providing an inadequately insulated outdoor shelter at any time is not proper care for Man's Best Friend.  It's just another abuse of these poor creatures who are without defense.  If you see an animal in these conditions, report it!

Many animals die from cold and heat related illness. There are rescues who specialize in getting these animals surrendered or, at a minimum, provide some comforts to help them survive this life.
