New Law Helps Pets Confined in Hot Vehicles

Many of us have had that unpleasant feeling of seeing a helpless animal trapped inside a locked car on a hot summer day. Temperatures in a vehicle can rise to dangerous levels in a short period of time. Confined pets can quickly succumb to heatstroke and suffocation. Rolling down the window or parking in the shade doesn’t guarantee protection from the heat. Not only is this unsafe for pets, but it is now also against the law in Illinois. 

According to the Humane Care for Animals Act, which went into effect January 1, 2016, “no owner of a dog or cat that is a companion animal may expose the dog or cat in a manner that places the dog or cat in a life-threatening situation for a prolonged period of time in extreme heat or cold conditions that results in injury to or death of the animal.” 

If you have concerns regarding a pet locked in a vehicle in potentially dangerously high temperatures, contact the Lisle Police Department by calling 911. An officer will respond to evaluate the situation and help remove the pet from the dangerous environment.
