The hot summer months can be uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. Here are some tips for keeping pets safe in the heat:
• Never leave pets in a parked car, even with the car
running and air-conditioner on. Temperatures inside
a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On
an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a vehicle
with the windows slightly cracked open can reach
102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the
temperature could reach 120 degrees. Such heat may
cause death or irreversible organ damage in pets.
• Watch the humidity. Dogs pant to cool down, but high
humidity prevents them from doing so, causing their
body temperature to soar to dangerous levels quickly.
• Limit exercise on hot days. Walk dogs in the early
morning or late at night. Pay special attention to pets
with white-colored ears (as they are more susceptible
to skin cancer) and short-nosed pets, which typically
have difficulty breathing. Dogs absorb and release heat
through their feet, therefore, walk them on grass or use
doggy boots. Bring water to keep pets from dehydrating.
• Don’t rely on fans, which don’t cool off animals as
effectively as they do people. If you don’t have airconditioning, lay down a wet towel for your dog to lie
on or simply set up a fan in front of a pan of ice.
• Provide clean water and protection from heat and
the sun when dogs are outdoors. Add ice to water. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat. Tree shade and
tarps are ideal because they don’t obstruct air flow.
• Watch for signs of heatstroke, including heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of
coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red
or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness. If a dog
is suffering from heatstroke, move it into the shade or
an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels
to its head, neck and chest or run cool (not cold) water
over the pet. Give it small amounts of cool water or ice
cubes to lick. Take the dog to the veterinarian. 
Rabies clinic to be held in July
The City of Cerritos will hold a low-cost rabies clinic for
dogs and cats in Shelter 1 at Cerritos Park East from 6:30 to
8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27. The clinics are sponsored
by Long Beach Animal Care Services and Artesia Animal
Hospital, in cooperation with the City of Cerritos’ Community
Safety and Community Participation Divisions.
Rabies shots for dogs and cats will be available for $10,
and canine bordetella (kennel cough) shots cost $17 each.
Canine coronavirus vaccines are $14, and Lyme disease vaccines will be $23. DHPP shots, also known as the “6-in-1”
vaccine that protects dogs from distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus, will be available for $19. The comparable “4-in-1” (FVRCPP) shot for cats cost $18. Feline bordetella (FIP) shots will be $23, and feline coronavirus (FELV)
shots are $20. In addition to vaccination fees, a $3 biohazard
disposal fee will be charged for each treated animal.
Checks for vaccines should be made payable to the City
of Cerritos. A driver’s license number and expiration date are
required on all checks. Returned checks are subject to a $10
service fee. AVID microchipping will also be available for $25
per cat or dog.
In addition to an annual rabies shot, dogs four months
and older are required by law to have a license. Dog licenses
will be sold to Cerritos, Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach
and Signal Hill residents at the clinics. Dog license fees for
Cerritos residents are $20, or $10 for dogs that are spayed or
neutered (a certificate is required to receive the discount).
Seniors ages 60 and older may purchase up to three half-price
licenses per household for dogs that are spayed or neutered.
To obtain a license, dog owners must show a copy of a current
rabies certificate, valid for 12 months, and a sterility certificate if the dog is spayed or neutered. Checks for dog licenses
should be made payable to Long Beach Animal Care Services.
Pet owners must keep their dogs on leashes and cats in
pet carriers during the clinics. For more information about
animal licenses, call Long Beach Animal Care Services at
(562) 570-7387. 
Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program Cerritos
segments available for sponsorship
Eight segments along the 91 and 605 freeways within
Cerritos are currently available for sponsorship as part of the
Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program. The program provides a
unique opportunity for both volunteer and sponsor groups to
promote civic responsibility and community pride.

individuals and businesses to donate materials, equipment
and services for roadside maintenance or enhancement.
Adoption opportunities include litter removal, graffiti removal, vegetation control, tree planting and wildflower planting.
Sponsors can also choose to hire a Caltrans-approved contractor, at the sponsor’s expense, to perform litter abatement
services. The average cost to maintain a segment of highway
using contracted labor is approximately $425 per month.
In recognition of each sponsorship, Caltrans provides a
standard sponsorship sign that is displayed along the designated highway segment. Sponsors have the option of providing an enhanced sign at their own additional expense. The
sign must be approved by Caltrans and can include custom
fonts, logos and colors.
