Tons of stray dogs brought to SoCal animal shelters following July 4th celebrations

Although humans may enjoy the festivities of July 4th, the holiday can be a very anxious and scary time for pets.

More pets go missing during the Fourth of July weekend than at any other time of the year, according to American Kennel Club. OC Animal Care in Tustin has been busy dealing with at least 57 stray dogs who were brought to shelters during the holiday.

During the celebrations, “the sudden noises and unfamiliar experiences can cause dogs to panic, resulting in them escaping from their homes or yards in search of safety,” explained OC Animal Care officials.
