Know the Warning Signs
Dogs can't tell us when they're overheating, so it's important to recognize the warning signs. Acting quickly can make the difference between a close call and a life-threatening emergency.
Heat stroke can develop rapidly, especially during hot or humid weather. Early signs may include excessive panting, heavy drooling, bright red gums, weakness, or unusual restlessness. As the condition worsens, dogs may vomit, stumble, collapse, or become unresponsive. Heat stroke is always a veterinary emergency. If you suspect your dog is overheating, move them to a cooler area immediately and contact your veterinarian without delay.

Some dogs wait quietly in shelters.
Others eventually find themselves center stage.
Events like Broadway Barks bring together theater performers, rescue groups, and adoptable shelter animals for one unforgettable goal:�helping dogs find loving homes.
For one afternoon, the spotlight shifts away from the actors and onto the rescue dogs beside them.
And honestly?�The dogs usually steal the show.
Because every shelter dog deserves:�• applause�• a second chance�• and someone waiting backstage to take them home.
