Oregon's Good Samaritan Law allows anyone to rescue an unattended animal from a vehicle without legal repercussions. If you see a pet in distress, contact dispatch at 541-265-0777 before intervening. Ensure you believe the animal is in imminent danger, use minimal force, and stay with the animal until help arrives. #PetSafety #HotCars #GoodSamaritanLaw #AnimalRescue #Oregon #PublicSafety #PetCare #WarmWeather #AnimalWelfare #PetProtection #HeatSafety #EmergencyResponse #PetRescue #SummerSafety #AnimalSafety.
