As heat grips the Bay Area one population is going to quickly suffer: pets.
At 85 degrees outside, asphalt temperature spikes to 130 degrees. Paws burn at 125 degrees after just one minute.
"Just shelters are in crisis right now shelters and rescue groups are in crisis," Goodin told CBS News Bay Area."There's just not enough fosters, not enough adopters, not enough kennel space. So a lot of dogs are running the streets.""With the heat that we have right now when it's 90 degrees outside. The sidewalks I think are like 120 and the streets are like 130, 140 degrees. But their feet start burning at 125.
Michelle Pas is a foster coordinator for Rescue The Underdog, which places at-risk animals in the greater Bay Area. She says her volunteer team is working overtime to place as many animals as possible. She explained that the organization has been getting about five calls per week from people needing to surrender their animals for various reasons, often having to do with strained resources. But on average only one or two dogs are being adopted.
