“Say hello to Eli A2455788, a furry friend with a unique personality. This 3-year-old dog has been at the shelter since April and is looking for a loving family to call his own.

And, all pet owners should make sure to keep their animals safe and secure when noisy fireworks are around.
Pets are more sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights and strong smells. The Humane Society of the United States advises that on the Fourth of July, and other days people are likely to set off fireworks, it’s best to leave your pets safely indoors, preferably with a radio or TV turned on to soften jarring noises. If you’re unable to leave your pet unattended at home, keep them leashed and under your direct control at all times.
