AUGUSTA — The Kennebec Valley Humane Society officials urge community members to keep their pets safe during this week’s 4th of July celebrations. This holiday can be frightening for pets and can result in many lost animals arriving at the shelter in need, according to a KVHS news release.

“The 4th of July is a wonderful time of celebration for families and friends, but can also be a dangerous time for pets. Our team wants to help educate community members with animals to be aware they may become frightened of fireworks and run away and become lost. Every year on the 5th of July and days following many lost animals are brought into our shelter” said Hillary Roberts, KVHS executive director, in the release.
