The Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter says they start noticing an uptick in lost dogs around the Memorial Day Weekend. The cause: fireworks. “Obviously a lot of people just adopted dogs within the last year, so we’re really trying to guide people who have never had a dog before of what they should be doing and shouldn’t be doing,” said Director of the Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter Laura Burban. Burban says keeping pets inside while fireworks go off is the most important thing to do. The loud noises can cause leashed dogs to run away from their owners, break through electric fences, and even jump physical fences to get away from the sound.
