Record high temperatures are expected for the next few days and into the holiday weekend.🌡️ Due to the Independence Day observance, many public cooling locations (libraries, senior centers, county office buildings, and recreation centers), will be closed.

During this heatwave please be sure to:
- Check on your vulnerable neighbors & family members
- Limit time outside
- Stay hydrated
- Provide protective covering and water for pets

Firework season is here.

June brings longer days and outdoor fun, but it also marks the official start of summer storm season and unpredictable fireworks displays. For thousands of dogs and cats, these sudden, booming sounds trigger severe panic. While anxious dogs tend to make their distress obvious, veterinary experts say...

📍 Lost pets don't plan on getting lost.

A door gets left open. A leash slips. A storm rolls through. Even the most loved pets can end up far from home in a matter of seconds.

That's why June is National Microchipping Month, and we're making it easy for Baltimore County residents to protect their pets.

✅ Microchips at BCAS are just $10 throughout June
🎁 Plus, while supplies last, you'll receive a $20 PetSmart gift card

A microchip is permanent identification that can help shelters and veterinary clinics quickly reconnect lost pets with their families. Unlike collars and tags, it can't fall off or be removed.

And here's an important reminder: if your pet already has a microchip, take a moment to make sure your contact information is up to date. A microchip only works if the registration information leads back to you!

As Baltimore County's updated redemption and spay/neuter requirements take effect, microchipping is more important than ever. Among other requirements, stray intact pets brought to BCAS are not eligible for a spay/neuter exemption unless they are microchipped and registered to their current owner.

I noticed sparklers and snaps being sold in the grocery store today and was reminded that starting now, fireworks will be going off randomly in my neighborhood for months to come. It is time to get your pets' anxiety meds refilled, work on your pet's fear with positive training and set up a safe space in your home for them to escape the chaos of summer.

We broke a record high temp today… and  so heat stress patients were in the ER, make sure it’s not your pet.
