EXTREME HEAT ADVISORY

The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures surrounding and in Northeast Arkansas will be in the 100's most of this week. Combined with humidity, heat indexes could exceed 115-118 degrees. Please bring your pets inside during the heat of the day and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Animals that must stay outside should have plenty of fresh water and shade – a dog house is not considered shade.

If you are concerned about pets belonging to others (and it is not an immediate emergency), you can email nafahelp@gmail.com, with the address. We must have a physical address. If we have the name of the owner and/or a telephone number we can get immediate attention for the animals. IMPORTANT: If you see an animal in immediate danger – inside a car or in danger from heat and sun exposure you can call your local Animal Control department or police department to report the matter.Also, please check in with your elderly neighbors, friends or family to make sure they have adequate ventilation.

Please monitor your pets for signs,
Tut
