What a great fundraiser! Everyone had a blast and SSCFOA raised $1,700 to help the animals of San Saba County. Thank you to Daneen Scott (the most amazing Instructor) for donating her time to teach not one but two classes, Albert and Kay Stowell for donating their wonderful building for us to use, Soggy Dog Salon for donating all of the nail trims, all of the Volunteers, and everyone who participated!

 URGENT: COLD WEATHER PET SAFETY ALERT! 

by San Saba County Friends of Animals

❄️
❄️

Temperatures are dropping to 21° and wetness is moving in tomorrow! Please keep your furry family members safe during this cold snap!

🏠

 Best option: Bring all pets indoors! Your garage, laundry room, or bathroom can work if needed.

If pets MUST stay outside:

Provide a sturdy, elevated shelter with straw bedding (blankets can freeze!)

Face shelter opening away from wind

Use thick plastic flaps over doorway to block wind

Check water frequently – it will freeze!

Consider a pet-safe heated water bowl

Increase food portions – pets burn more calories staying warm

Bang on your hood before starting your car – cats often seek warmth under vehicles

Remember: If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them! 

🐱
🐕

Senior pets, short-haired breeds, and puppies/kittens are especially vulnerable to cold. Please help spread the word and keep an eye out for strays who might need help!

Call us if you see an animal in distress: San Saba County Friends of Animals (325) 372-PETS (7387) ext. 0.
