Don't Leave Pets in Cars

Temperatures can rise to dangerous levels in just minutes, putting your dog at risk of heat stroke. Hundreds of pets die from car-related heat stroke each year. Don't make the mistake of leaving your pet in a hot car!

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

This Memorial Day weekend remember to #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver.

One person is killed about every 50 minutes in a drunk-driving crash, totaling more than 10,500 lives lost each year.
