New Nevada law makes it a crime to leave pet in hot vehicle
“Senate Bill 409 passed in the last legislative session raised the penalty for leaving a pet in a hot locked car to the same level as leaving a child in the car,” says Cathy Brooks, owner of The Hydrant Club.
If convicted of a crime under the law a person faces 6 months behind bars or a $1,000 fine.
Dog owners are also warned to keep their pets off hot sidewalks and pavement, as it can burn their feet, says Brooks.
