DID YOU KNOW...
that it is illegal to leave an animal unattended in a parked car in California if doing so endangers its health or well being?
|
If weather conditions, lack of ventilation or water etc. are deemed inappropriate for a pet being in a car, the law mandates a fine of $100 per animal so long as none of the animals are actually harmed. If an animal is harmed, the fine is $500 and a maximum of 6 months in jail. If it is determined that actual animal neglect has occurred, then the crime is elevated to animal abuse and is punishable by up to 3 years in state prison.
If you are concerned about a pet in a hot car and the owner cannot be quickly located, call 911.

Are you liable if you break the car window yourself? Maybe, but if AB 797 passes, probably not. This bill was written to protect Good Samaritans from liability should it be necessary to rescue an animal before law enforcement arrives. To save the animal, according to this bill, you must:
|
1) Determine that the car is really locked
2) Call 911, animal control or other agency to notify them of the situation
3) Use no more force than necessary to get to the animal
4) Turn the animal over to proper law enforcement when they arrive (don't give it back to the owner).
The bill also exempts rescuers from liability for damage to the car sustained during rescue.

This bill has almost completed its passage but you can still support it here:

This is a really great web site for learning about the dangers of heat stroke for dogs in hot cars.
We know you're aware but help others be aware, too, and share.
