Detroit’s deep freeze: Why every outdoor dog is at risk

Leaving a dog outside in Detroit’s current bitter cold isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s an emergency. Animal control is getting flooded with calls as temps drop, and even breeds known for handling winter, like huskies, are at risk. Fur isn’t enough protection against these extreme temps, and a doghouse with straw won’t cut it. Animal care teams are urging everyone to check on pets and neighbors’ animals, and to report any concerns. It’s a community effort to keep pets safe—what steps are you taking to help animals in your neighborhood this week? #Pets #Detroit #PetSafety

Detroit’s winter: Simple hacks to avoid costly repairs

Furnaces and pipes in Detroit are taking a beating as this deep freeze drags on. Local heating pros say the cold is breaking down equipment faster than usual, and frozen pipes are a real threat. A few easy moves can save you from a pricey disaster: keep a trickle of water running to stop pipes from freezing, open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air in, and cover windows to slow heat loss. Wrapping exposed pipes and switching your thermostat fan to “on” can also help. Anyone else have winter home survival tips that actually work? #Home #Detroit #WinterTips

Detroit’s Covenant House brings hope to the streets

Detroit’s Covenant House Outreach Team is quietly changing lives, one conversation at a time. On bitterly cold days, they’re out meeting people where they are—like at a McDonald’s—offering warmth, a listening ear, and a real shot at a fresh start. Outreach manager Stephanie Taylor says it’s about showing up, no pressure, just being there until someone’s ready to say yes. That “yes” can mean a ride to shelter and a first step off the street. It’s not about saving everyone, but believing every day that one life changed is worth it. What do you think makes the biggest difference for people facing homelessness? #Safety #Detroit #CovenantHouse
