Drivers reminded not to leave pets in hot cars

Putnam County SPCA and the Carmel Fire Department are reminding drivers that the temperature inside a car can rise up to 40 degrees higher than the outside temperature. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes for an animal to suffer irreversible damage due to heat stroke.  

When it's 75 degrees outside, the car will reach 100 degrees inside in just 10 minutes.  When it's 85 degrees outside, it takes 7 to 10 minutes and when the outside temperature approaches 100, it only takes 15 minutes for the inside of a car to become 140 degrees.

Anyone who sees an animal which has been left unattended during extreme temperatures and may be in distress, is asked to call the SPCA at 845-520-6915 or emergency responders.
