  • 1.  Pets in Hot Cars PSA

    Posted 07-05-2022 10:11 PM
    CARE has created a PSA around the dangers of leaving pets in cars during the hot summer months. Please feel free to share with others to raise awareness and show that sometimes animals may not have a few minutes. 

    Check it out here: They may not have a few minutes

    They may not have a few minutes
    Every year, hundreds of pets die from heat exhaustion because they are left in parked vehicles. We've all heard the explanations: "Oh, it will just be a few minutes while I go into the store," or "But I cracked the windows..."

    Hi Sheila, what a wonderful video!!  Thank you for sharing. 

    I assume it's OK for us to ask TV stations in our market (Seattle-Tacoma) to run it?  Or should we send you the station contacts?

    Also, I volunteer on animal welfare issues in Montenegro, and work with other groups throughout the Balkans--Croatia, Bosnia and Hertzegovina, Kosovo, etc.  Would it be possible for us to have the script translated to their common language, and share it there?

    Cheers!

    April

    Thank you so much for the support, April! We would love it if you share this with your local TV stations and networks! If you do so, please feel free to loop me in so I can include our PR team. Sheila@careawo.org 

    And, we will work on getting the script over to you shortly. Thank you for this great suggestion!

    Sheila,


     Thank you so much for sharing. What a wonderful video and a great PSA. I think we all have heard the excuses over and over again. I am hoping that this brings awareness to this topic.
