Anyone who has a furry companion knows that pets aren’t the biggest fireworks fans. But if your dog or cat runs away during the Fourth of July festivities, there’s no reason to panic.

The Animal Foundation announced Monday that is is waiving all reclaim fees now through July 10.

We're waiving all reclaim fees through July 10th!
