> SUMMER IS COMING - make sure you and your pets are prepared for the hot weather!

Raise Your Paws Gala

Summer is approaching, and the warmer weather is already here in the valley. When the temperature is above 85 degrees, leave your animals at home instead of taking them for a car ride. On a hot day, even with the car windows open, the temperature inside can reach 215 degrees within 10 minutes. Within those short moments your pet can suffer irreparable brain damage - and even die from heat stroke.

Watch out for hot sidewalks, and even swimming pools too. You can check out more of our tips for the hot summer months HERE.

> THANK YOU for making the RAISE YOUR PAWS® GALA a blast!

Raise Your Paws Gala

All of the celebrity dance teams put their best foot forward and the judging proved quite difficult. The dance judges declared Sandra Smith (American Gladiators) and her partner Rik Dault first runners up, and Amanda Jahn (3TV) and partner Robert Blair the champions!

The Gala crowd voted Sandra and Rik "Peoples' Favorite" champions of the show! Thanks again to everyone who attended the event, to all of the wonderful volunteers who donated their time, and a special thank you to all of the celebrity dancers and dance instructors for all of their hard work and dedication!
