Vernon Township Animal Control & Animal Shelter:
Animal Control is responsible for rabies control, capture of sick or injured animals, confinement of lost pets, quarantines, dog bites, and adoptions. Also, it maintains shelter, dog licensing, and rabies clinics, and responds to complaints and enforcement of animal ordinances within Vernon Township. It is on twenty-four hour emergency call through the Vernon Township Police Dept. for animal bites, injured, sick or stray animals, as well as bats found within the living area of the house.
Located at the Animal Control Facility are animals available for adoption. Check out the following link for one that could be a new additional to your home, Petfinder.com.

Hot Cars Can Kill Pets:
Even ten minutes could be too long for a dog or cat left in a parked car on a hot day. By then, the temperature inside the car could reach 160 degrees. That's hot enough to cause the pet to suffer heat stroke. Within moments, it could suffer permanent brain damage. If emergency care is not given, the pet could die.
The short stop you plan to make at the store could stretch to 15 minutes or more before you know it. Your mistake could cost your dog of cat its life. Leaving the windows cracked won't cool the car enough to protect your pet.
Although you and your pet would like to be together, during the hot summer months it's much kinder and safer to leave him or her at home with plenty of shade, and cool, clean drinking water.
