Nashua, NH – With excessive heat and humidity in New Hampshire and the Greater Nashua Public Health Region expected today September 5, 2023, state and local public health and emergency management officials are urging Greater Nashua residents to take the necessary precautions in an effort to avoid heat-related illness and injury.

Heat stroke is an emergency and medical help should be requested by calling 9-1-1. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool, shaded location and drink water while waiting for help. Nashua Public Health and Emergency Management Officials are encouraging the Greater Nashua community to practice the following precautions to stay safe and prevent heat-related illness.

● Drink plenty of water, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

● Monitor those at high risk. Although anyone at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others:

● Infants and young children

● People 65 years of age or older

● People who overexert during work or exercise

● People who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure, or

who take certain medications, such as for depression, insomnia, or poor circulation

● Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any

circumstances.

● Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. Schedule frequent breaks in

shared or air conditioned environments.

● Limit use of appliances, such as your dryer, dishwasher, and oven to avoid unwanted heat

indoors.

● When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.

● Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible.

● Learn the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses and how to treat them.

New Hampshire state police want you to be safe and accident free this Labor Day weekend.

State Representative Laurie Sanborn, who has chaired the state’s first casino commission has resigned from there.

NHSPCA executive director Lisa Dennison

Right on the heels of an animal rescue from Bedford, rescuers have found themselves busy with another one, this time in Northwood. Rather than trying to explain what happened in a news feed, the entire press release from New Hampshire SPCA is posted below.

Popular singer songwriter Jimmy Buffett has passed away at the age of 76.

Stratham, NH – On Thursday, August 31, 2023, the New Hampshire SPCA assisted a local Police Department and the State Department of Agriculture following the service of a search warrant at a home. The owner was not on the property when police arrived and the animals and the home were found to be in horrifying conditions.  The Department of Agriculture ordered the animals to be removed. The New Hampshire SPCA took the animals into protective custody.  This case comes on the heels of a case last week where 35+ animals were surrendered following an investigation.

The conditions at the property were overwhelming.  “It was horrible,” said one of the NHSPCA staff members on site.  “The stench in the house was unbearable and the condition of the animals was heartbreaking.”  The animals taken in by the NHSPCA were 5 dogs including a Great Dane, 8 cats, 10 rabbits, 2 turtles, an African Grey parrot, 8 donkeys, 2 mini-donkeys, 6 goats, a sheep and a horse.  Other animals taken to partner shelters included 3 additional dogs, dozens of farm fowl, a cow and a snake.

Tona McCarthy, Humane Agent and Cruelty Investigator for the NHSPCA said that the animals were found without food or water, rabbits were in crates caked with waste, dogs were found in filthy crates that were too small for their size, cat litter boxes were overflowing. The authorities from the Department of Agriculture ordered the animals removed based on the condition of the animals and the condition of the site. 

The New Hampshire SPCA already has 163 animals in its care as of this morning.  The additional 39 animals coming from this case will once again push the organization well over 200 in care.  “This case is appalling.  The photos were absolutely nauseating.  Many of the animals appear to be severely underweight, filthy and have as yet, undiagnosed medical conditions,” said Lisa Dennison, Executive Director. “The donkeys had hooves that haven’t seen a farrier in so long that they are curling back on themselves and were clearly in terrible pain simply trying to walk.  The ram hasn’t been shorn and was a mass of mud and muck.  What makes it all even worse is that as of now, they now have to be held in protective custody while the court case begins.  State law allows for a court decision to be made within 14 days.  However, often, that deadline passes and the animals remain in protective custody for many months.”

 The New Hampshire SPCA is asking for the community’s assistance in caring for these animals. If you would like to help with the cost of care and to help ensure their recovery, please make a tax-deductible contribution to the SOS FUND by going to www.nhspca.org.  A direct link to the SOS Fund https://www.classy.org/checkout/donation?eid=127496 .  Gifts to the SOS Fund can also be made by phone at 603-772-2921 x 120

or by mail:  New Hampshire SPCA, PO Box 196, Stratham, NH  03885.  If you would like to help by making a donation of food, a list can be found on our website under “Wish list”.

About the New Hampshire SPCA  The mission of the New Hampshire SPCA is to save the lives of companion animals through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption; to promote learning, eliminate animal cruelty and be a leader in advancing the highest standards of animal welfare. Adoption Center hours are from 11am – 4pm on every day but closed on Wednesday.  For more information about the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit www.nhspca.org
