- ➤ Ahead of the 4th of July, the Department of Animal Care and Control reminds pet owners to protect their pets from heat and loud fireworks. It advises never leaving pets in cars, walking them during cooler hours, and keeping them hydrated — the agency also recommends microchipping pets and using updated ID tags—to help keep pets safe and make reunification easier if they wander off.

- ➤ Local nonprofit All Animal Search and Rescue of Santa Clarita will deploy its team to rescue pets spooked by fireworks on Fourth of July, when many dogs and cats may run from home. Founder Lorena Zeballos said the group will use traps, social media alerts, and drone support — efforts that will help reunite lost pets with their owners. The Santa Clarita Valley Signal
CRIME NEWS
- ➤ With Independence Day nearing, the City of Santa Clarita reminds residents that all fireworks—even those labeled Safe—are illegal because they cause burns and major property damage, and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station said patrols will increase while residents should report illegal fireworks online by taking photos instead of calling 911.
