Maricopa County Animal Care and Control field officer Sarah Krawiec's job is to rescue stray and injured dogs - it's a tough one, made even more difficult by the Arizona summer heat.
"Most of the dogs we're picking up right now are showing some form of heat exhaustion," Krawiec said. "Generally, they are panting, they start foaming at the mouth, and they can have seizures." "The dog has a laceration, sounds like from either an animal fight or was beaten," the officer said. "So basically, what we are doing is making contact with the person who made the call to see if the dog is still there.
It's barely 9 am, and the temperature is already a grueling 100 degrees. Because of this, foot searches are kept short."Here is where the hard part [begins] because you have all the desert, she can be anywhere, unfortunately," she said. "I was calling to confirm if that German Shepherd was still outside your guys' business," Krawiec says on the phone.
The dog is outrunning us all, and because Maricopa County Animal Care and Control has strict guidelines in this heat, dogs on the run can't be chased for more than a few minutes. It can be deadly.
