Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue

Handsome Josie, 8 yr sable/white male, has been adopted and will be living in IA. Josie was in need of new homes after his owner passed away from cancer. In his previous life he was mostly a farm dog but it didn't take him long to realize that couches and dog beds were the only way to go ;-) and his new mom is happy to supply all the comfy, cozy beds and snuggles that he can handle!

🚙 Dogs can and do jump out of car windows.
• Secure your dog in the backseat in a hard travel carrier or with a dog seat belt.
• Be sure the window is up and the child lock switch is in the lock position.
• Never leave your dog unattended. Not even on a cool day, with doors locked, with window cracked, with a/c on, in the shade. Someone stays with them, you all go in, or they stay home.

Years ago, my dog, attached to a seatbelt, jumped out the car window on a freeway. I was very lucky that her injuries were minor. From that day, my dogs rode in crates and the windows stayed up.

It’s important after a close call like this, or when your lost dog is found, to evaluate what you can change to prevent it from ever happening again. Your dog’s life depends on it. 💓
