The Fourth of July is an exciting night for most of us, but the fireworks can bring a lot of anxiety for household pets. This week, fireworks shows will be lighting up the skies across Tampa Bay. For some pets, every explosion is scary. "A lot of animals will be pacing, there'll be panting, some will be barking, others are kind of cowering," Christina Walton, the volunteer coordinator with the Suncoast Humane Society, said. "So every animal is a little different." "So it's, it's really hard on them," Walton explained. "And so being able to have someone there to comfort them really brings down their anxiety level." This is why the Suncoast Humane Society is asking volunteers to come help out at their shelter on July 4. From 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, the humane society will host a BBQ with free hamburgers and hotdogs to encourage volunteers to come out and help the dogs and cats in the shelter.
