Pets In Hot Cars ... It's A Crime Under NRS 574.195

Okay, it's about to get stinkin' HOT outside, Folks - so this is a good time to remind ... no, BEG... everyone to not take your pets with you on errands at all, especially if you'll need to step away from the car for even a minute.

Nevada is one of 16 states that has a law on the books making it a crime to leave your dog or cat in a hot vehicle - it's all below in NRS 574.195.

So with expected temperatures of 115 degrees in Boulder City tomorrow, if you see a pet left unattended in a car, DO NOT HESITATE to call 911 and ask dispatch to send an officer immediately to smash through a window if necessary.

Because in only 90 degree temperature, a car's internal temperature reaches 109 in just 10 minutes and that animal may die from the heat. And even if the animal survives, it's still animal cruelty and a crime, so RAT 'EM OUT!
