🚨 DON’T WALK AWAY. THAT DOG IS COUNTING ON YOU. 🚨

A vehicle can become deadly in just minutes—even if the windows are cracked. Dogs can’t cool themselves the way humans can, and heatstroke can happen fast.

If you see a dog trapped in a hot car:

🐾 Call 911 immediately.
🐾 Write down the vehicle’s make, model, color, and license plate.
🐾 Ask nearby businesses to page the owner.
🐾 Stay with the dog until help arrives.

Can you break the window in Colorado?

Yes—but only if you follow Colorado law. Colorado’s “Good Samaritan” law protects people from civil and criminal liability when rescuing a dog from a locked vehicle if all of these conditions are met:

✔️ You reasonably believe the dog is in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
✔️ You confirm the vehicle is locked.
✔️ You make a reasonable effort to locate the owner.
✔️ You call 911 or law enforcement before entering the vehicle.
✔️ You use only the force necessary to rescue the dog.
✔️ You stay with the dog in a safe place until first responders arrive (or leave the required information if emergency veterinary care is needed).

A broken window can be replaced.

A dog’s life can’t.
