From our friends at The Humane Society of the United States - Iowa......
Please take a few minutes today to contact your representative in the Iowa House and let them know you support HF737... and ask them to do whatever they can to get it scheduled for a vote in the House. Here is a link to find your legislator's contact info: www.legis.iowa.gov/legislators/find
About HF737
This bill originally would have made animal torture an automatic felony in Iowa (which remains one of just two states that prosecute the crime as a misdemeanor). However, the Iowa Senate amended the bill and removed that provision.
The bill still increases penalties for animal cruelty crimes, improves legal definitions so law enforcement can more easily intervene, and allows judges to require mental health treatment for some offenders.Yowsa! It's gonna be a hot one in north Iowa today. 🥵🥵🥵
This kind of weather can be very dangerous to humans AND animals! ESPECIALLY dogs left in non-running vehicles while their owners "run into the store for just 5 minutes."
5 minutes can easily turn into 10, 15, or even longer due to longer lines at the register, running into someone you know and stopping to chat or remembering more items you need to pick up. Meanwhile, your beloved pooch may be overheating outside in your car.
WHEN TEMPS GET THIS HIGH, DOGS LEFT IN CARS CAN DIE! 😥😥😥
It's just not worth the risk. Please leave your dog at home in the cool comfort of air conditioning if you need to run errands today. 🌬🌬🌬
We hope you stay cool today too!! Drink lots of water and stay inside during the peak hours of the heat (1pm- 6pm).
Stay safe and stay cool!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️My name is Spot and I was brought to the shelter with two other cats when unfortunate circumstances led to our family being unable to keep us. They’ve since been adopted, and I am ready for my forever home, too.
I previously lived with a dog but did not care for him. I tend to do okay with other cats and I love children! I often slept in bed with the child in my previous home. I would love another child friend.
I’m a very playful girl that would love to be in a home again. Please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information.My name is Maple, because I’m sweet like maple syrup! Shortly after I entered the shelter, I gave birth to four puppies. I was a really great mom but I’ll be honest- I’m ready to retire from motherhood.
My pups have all been adopted and now I would like a turn being the baby! I had kind of a rough past and I hope there’s a family out there who can show me what it’s like to be pampered and loved.
I love to play with toys and make it my personal mission to seek out and destroy all the squeakers. I would like to be #1 and need to be the only pet in the home.
Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter (co-located and managed by the Humane Society of North Iowa) at 641-424-3617 for more information.For OVER a dozen years, I've done a weekly interview on KISS Country, The Morning Rush with J Brooks (dang, we're old J Brooks!! 😂😂) to talk about shelter animals, events, and issues....basically, the shelter scoop!!! 😉😉
But due to the COVID virus, they have temporarily suspended in studio interviews. Thankfully, the weekly chat continues because Morning Rush co-host, Britt, has provided excellant guidance and instruction for live feed interviews that are on air ( 98.7) and online!!
Here is this morning's interview where we talk about finding a forever home for a special "Lady" at the shelter. 😉😉❤❤❤
Tune in every Wednesday morning to KISS Country at 8:40 for The Shelter Scoop!!
HUGE thanks to our segment sponsor, Dr. Bruce and all our friends at the Garner Veterinary Clinic and Garner Pet Resort and Wash!!!Petfinder.com
