___ inches of snow fell yesterday and more snow is expected today. Also temperatures dipped down to ___ last night. With these winter weather conditions Amber Talbot, Director of PAWS and More animal shelter in Washington, is reminding people to take care of outdoor animals. She says to keep dog houses insulated because wooden and plastic structures often do not keep the animals warm enough. She suggests using straw so the animals can nest in it to keep warm.

Also, be aware that stray cats may be seeking warmth in the engines of cars, she reminds people to check their vehicles.

Talbot adds that the shelter is hoping to find some of the animals their forever homes this Valentine’s Day weekend. For a list of dogs and cats looking for a home click here.
