The Nixa Police posted on their Facebook Page about keeping pets safe from the summer heat; the full post is available to read below.

"Protect Your Pets from the Heat!

As temperatures rise, remember that hot cars can be deadly for pets. Never leave your furry friends unattended in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can skyrocket within moments, putting their lives at risk. Keep them safe and leave them at home!
