Between April and September 2021, the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force responded to 30 hot car pet rescues, HSMO spokesperson Gary Lowder said in a news release.

“If this is any indication, this year is going to be busy,” Animal Cruelty Task Force director Ella Frank said in the release.
